Let’s take a moment to celebrate and brag about how incredible our members are!

Over the past two weeks, we’ve had some remarkable accomplishments:

✅ 3 members finished Mercyhealth’s EMT class, passed their National exam, and are just waiting on their licenses to start serving in Illinois.
✅ 2 members graduated from Mercyhealth’s paramedic program—congratulations!
✅ One of our preceptors was recognized as an outstanding preceptor, nominated by his students for the dedication and mentorship he provides.

But that’s not all!
🎓 We also have 5 members currently enrolled in the Officer Development class through the Illinois Fire Service Institute (CoFo).

🧗‍♂️ Tonight, 4 members begin their Rope Operations training—a 40-hour course essential for advanced certifications.

🌊 We’re in the process of sending 6 members to become open water dive certified by the end of the month!

All of these achievements are possible thanks to volunteers who give up their time with family and friends to better serve our community. Your dedication, hard work, and commitment to North Park Fire and the community we protect are truly inspiring.
