Hialeah, FL ---- Twenty three new firefighters have joined the Hialeah Fire Department.

The Hialeah Fire Department welcomed twenty three new firefighters on August 31st at the formal swearing-in ceremony in the Councils Chambers. Mayor Julio Robaina was joined by Councilwoman Vivian Casáls-Muñoz, Councilman Jose Caragol, Hialeah Fire Department Chief Otto Drozd, Hialeah Fire Department Deputy Chief Adel Castro, Hialeah Fire Department Training Chief Will Godfrey, Hialeah Fire Department Rescue Chief Miguel Anchia and Fire Marshall Ray Perez to welcome the new firefighters.

There were many family members and friends on hand as the recruits received their badges and certificates.

To reach this point, the firefighters had to endure the Hialeah Fire Fighters Academy which included many weeks of study covering such subjects as Hazardous Material response, emergency medical care, vehicle extrication, and State of Florida Fire Fighting Standards training.
