The Manhattan Fire Department will soon welcome some new faces to the team as the latest class of recruits enter their final week of training.
The future firefighters have spent the last six weeks learning to protect themselves and their own through Rapid-Intervention-Training and live burn exercises. The RIT drills require them to use skills they have learned thus far to work as a team to rescue a downed firefighter.
The recruits will finish their training with a graduation ceremony on June 30th.
