Marcia Miller's Reflections & Resources

Hoorah!

This summer, Ben participated in a two-month intensive fire service training academy through the Getchell Fire Department, Snohomish County Fire District #22. It was the first part of their 15 month resident firefighter program. He worked really hard and did well. He’ll continue there as a probationary resident firefighter, learning through study and on the job training. We’re so proud of him!
