Happy birthday to Samuel Smith. My son, as well as one of the Co-Instructors. We started the day co-teaching Intro/Basic Pumps in Dare County at Kill Devil Hills Fire. I can honestly say he has been raised in and by the Fire Service as he started attending Driver Operator classes when he was about 5 years old and continued into the Fire Service as a volunteer and now career member. May you be blessed.

This week, we were in Garner hosting the OSFM Driver/Operator Pumps: Sprinkler, Standpipe, Maintenance & Testing class.

Throughout the week, students strengthened their skills as pumper operators by learning how to perform maintenance checks, conduct annual service testing, and properly maintain fire apparatus. They also gained hands-on experience in supplying water to sprinkler and standpipe fire suppression systems. 💧🔥

We were proud to have students representing:
👉 Garner
👉 Northern Wake
👉 Clayton
👉 Wake Forest
👉 Fayetteville
👉 Zebulon

Thank you to all the students for your hard work and dedication throughout the week — great job, everyone! 👏
