Gardner MA Fire Fighter Justin Calderon Awarded “Top Recruit” by Fire Academy
Gardner Fire Department posted, “The Gardner Fire Department would like to congratulate Gardner Fire Fighter Justin Calderon on his graduation from the Massachusetts Fire Academy. Justin excelled at the Fire Academy and Graduated at the top of his class, and was awarded top recruit by the Fire Academy. We wish Justin a long and happy career on group 3 at Gardner Fire.”
Just like the Gardner Police Department, the Gardner Fire Department has a shortage of personnel. New officers and new firefighters attend the appropriate academy. While short, both departments have had to utilize overtime at times in order to provide coverage for the City. It is the shared goal of both chiefs to bring the numbers back up. Another department short of help is the Gardner DPW which has some openings. SEE ARTICLE.
