New generation of Cayman firefighters start their careers
A new generation of firefighters celebrated completion of an intensive six-month training course on Friday, 29 May.
A total of 26 cadets – 25 men and one woman – were awarded special ‘challenge coins’ to mark their move from trainees to full-time firefighters.
Stephen Walton, 32, who won a total of four awards, including the newly renamed Kirkland Nixon Award, given to the top cadet, said, “I worked extremely hard throughout the entire time. I put the time and effort in to try and give my best.” For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
