Kimberton Firefighters and Officers joined the ranks across the County at the 2016 Spring Firefighter I graduation ceremonies at the Wagontown Fire Hall. As always the Emerald Society Bag Pipers were there to start off the event along with WCFD Presentation of Colors. Friends, family and fellow Firefighters and Officers filled the hall for the event. Firefighter Gerald Moore from Kimberton was elected by his fellow Academy Firefighters to be the class speaker at the event. Each recruit was awarded his certification by their Class Instructor and Chiefs of their Department. Afterwards refreshments were served and it was photo time for Recruits.
Congratulations to Firefighter Gerry Moore and the Spring Chester County Recruit Class of 2016.
