Recruits must finish the fire academy and complete a skills test. Once completed, recruits transition into probationary firefighters for 6-months where they will respond to calls within the district, build their skills to become proficient, understand mutual aid respond, equiptment location and usage. At the end of the 6-months, they will retest to become fully fledge firefighters and earn their yellow helmet.
