The Charleston Fire Department is proud to announce the graduation of recruit class 22-01. The graduation ceremony was held at West Ashley High School on Friday, June 10th, at 10:00 AM. The keynote speaker for the event was Summerville Fire Chief Richard Waring.

“We welcome our newest firefighters to the CFD family as they enter the next phase of their career,” said Fire Chief Dan Curia. “These recruits entered our program and spent the last 16-weeks with our Training Division to prepare them to work in our community. Six recruits, who are already certified EMT’s, will now move to probationary status and spend the next six-months honing their skills. The remaining recruits will now move into the EMT program for the next 8 weeks. I am very proud of their hard work and dedication.”
