From Around the Region: B'ville Class Producing Future Firefighters

C.W. Baker High School students recently dressed in full firefighter turnout gear and received forcible entry training at the Baldwinsville Fire Department.

The five students -- Josh Tapia, Michael Cerone, Chris Tapia, Jackson Orlando and Robert Thompson – are part of Fire & EMS class this semester. The class has been going strong for about 12 years ago and produces future firefighters and first responders.

Instructor Paul Becker said he is particularly impressed by the students in the class this semester.

“They are very motivated and they take initiative,” Becker said. “I think they all will make great firefighters.”
