Concord Fire and Life Safety Recruit Class 17-7 Graduation



Concord Department of Fire and Life Safety Graduates 10 Recruits on Saturday April 9, 2011. The graduation was held at Westford United Methodist Church on Highway 49. The keynote speaker was Kenneth Mullins (Executive Director of the NC Fire Chief’s Association). Chief Mullins addressed the Recruits with words of encouragement and advice on a successful career in the fire service. As with previous graduations, the Honor Guard did a great job of posting and retrieving the colors, and Rev. Jimmy Barrett was present to deliver the invocation. During the badge pinning, Nick Zabel proposed to his girlfriend, Emily (she said yes).
Concord Fire and Life Safety gives two special awards at each graduation, the Fire Chief’s Award which rewards academics and the Training Award which rewards practical skills.
Nick Zabel was the recipient of the Fire Chief’s award, and Dustin Hooks was presented with the Training Award.
Congratulations to all of the graduates.


Chief Barlow presented each Recruit with a copy of the Psalm 91 Book and a Psalm 91 card from Operation Safety 91.
