“Tonight, you become members of one of American’s greatest creations – organized firefighting,” Freeholder Director John P. Curley said in his address to Class 94. “Modern-day firefighting is much different. Not only is your equipment updated, but you are required to do so much more. You don’t just fight fires. You will be required to respond to all sort sof emergencies, like first aid calls, traffic accidents, hazardous materials spills and, yes, even terrorist acts.

“Do not be daunted by these expectations,” Curley said. “You have just completed four months ofdifficult work to get ready for these challenges. What enhances fire safety is trained firefighters. Andyou received the best training available from the instructors at this academy.”
