Nathan Bryant
Nathan Bryant is the first recruit to become Firefighter I,II certified through the Concord High School Fire Academy program. Nathan's journey to certification as a NC Firefighter I,II was accomplished very quickly with 14 of the OSFM's 21 certification classes taken through our program. The other 7 classes were completed through Community College classes offered through local Fire Departments and Weekend Fire Schools. The most challenging of the classes were the Haz Mat Awareness and Operations class - 44 hours (He scored in the high 90's on the written exam) and Fire Control - 40 hours which finished up with Live Fire Training the weekend after graduation.
His certification was officially complete with the updated OSFM Transcript on Wednesday August 17th, 2011. The Firefighter I,II Certificate arrived on Friday 8-19-11 with the IFSAC Seal recognized in 43 States and a number of other Countries.
