ISLAND HEIGHTS – A congratulations are in order for a handful of the Island Heights Volunteer Fire Co. 1 new members as they have successfully completed the Fire Academy and are now firefighters!
Pictured at the August 16 Toms River Fire Academy Graduation where member Colby Gesser graduated his Firefighter 1 and 2 class. His father Jim Gesser had the honor of pinning his badges onto him.
They also have two graduates from the Ocean County Fire Academy, members Mike Shannon and Chris Logan who both successfully completed their Firefighter 1 and 2 courses and both graduated within the last year. Unfortunately, due to COVID restrictions at the time that they completed the academy, they were unable to have a graduation that they could attend. Nonetheless the fire co. is proud of all of their members for successfully completing their training and taking the journey to become firefighters! Congrats to all three, and to all of the other recruits who also graduated in these classes!
