EASTON — Chief Justin Alexander is pleased to share that Easton Firefighter/Paramedic Olivia DelPrete graduated from the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy (MFA) on Friday, Oct. 11.
Firefighter/Paramedic DelPrete was one of 32 graduates from 16 departments in the Career Recruit Firefighter Training Program Class #324.
Firefighter/Paramedic DelPrete has worked in private EMS for the last year at Brewster Ambulance. She began that job shortly after graduating from high school.
During the 50-day training program, participants receive classroom training in all basic firefighter skills. They practice first under non-fire conditions and then during controlled fire conditions. The graduates are now certified at the level of Firefighter I and II and in hazardous material operation.
The other 31 graduates of Class #324 represent the fire departments of Auburn, Bedford, Burlington, Chelsea, Devens, Haverhill, Hopedale, Hull, Lawrence, Lincoln, Maynard, Medford, Natick, Southborough and Swampscott.
“We are excited to welcome Olivia to our firefighting family and look forward to working alongside her as we strive to protect and serve our community together,” Chief Alexander said. “Olivia is going to be an outstanding asset to the Easton Fire Department and the community we protect.”
