WAYLAND — Chief Neil McPherson is pleased to share that Wayland Firefighter/Paramedic Arthur Fenno successfully completed and graduated from the Massachusetts Firefighter Academy (MFA) on Friday, May 23.
Firefighter/Paramedic Fenno was one of 35 graduates from 15 departments in the Career Recruit Firefighter Training Program Class #330.
During the 50-day Career Recruit Firefighting Training Program, students received classroom training in all basic firefighter skills, practicing first under non-fire conditions and then during controlled fire conditions. To graduate, students needed to demonstrate proficiency in life safety, search and rescue, ladder operations, water supply, pump operation and fire attack, ranging from mailbox fires to multi-floor structural fires.
Firefighter/Paramedic Fenno joined the Department in May 2023. He is certified to the levels of Firefighter I and II, and Hazardous Materials First Responder Operations, by the Massachusetts Fire Training Council, which is accredited by the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications.
“Congratulations to Firefighter Fenno on his graduation from the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy,” said Chief McPherson. “We are excited to have him as part of our department, and he has been a great addition to the team.”
The other 34 graduates of Class #330 represent the fire departments of Acton, Falmouth, Gardner, Haverhill, Lynnfield, Mansfield, Medway, Middleborough, Natick, Norwell, Provincetown, Salem, Waltham, and Wellfleet.
