Congratulations!
2008 San Jose Fire Department
Firefighter Recruit Class

Congratulations to the new San Jose Fire Deparment Recruit Class of 2008! They have just graduated from the 18 week fire academy on November 13, 2008 at city hall council chambers. 24 new firefighters will hit the streets and their new assignments on Monday the 17th. Oh by the way they are all paramedics too. Good Luck!!

The Graduation was filled with cheers from the audience as the program proceeded. The ceremony was hosted by Captain Colleen Mulholand. Featured guests were Father Stout, Mayor Chuck Reed, Fire Chief Darryl Von Raesfeld, and Battalion Chief Phil Croyle.

They all separately spoke about the hard work and dedication during the training as well as their future as San Jose Firefighters. All of the new Firefighters had family and friends pin on their new badges. The ceremonial fire helmet presentation followed in the City Hall Rotunda.
