Eleven Wichita Fire Department (WFD) fire recruits will
graduate at 3 p.m. today, Thursday October 15. Due to COVID-19, WFD will
restrict ceremony attendance, but will stream it live on the City of Wichita
YouTube channel, youtube.com/cityofwichita455.
The 11 WFD recruits will be “pinned” with their badges in a
pinning ceremony today at the Regional Training Center, 4746 E 31st St. S. The 10-week recruit academy
included COVID-19 safety requirements, hands-on training and classroom
sessions.
The new probationary firefighters have received their
assignments and are ready to serve the City of Wichita.
Fire Chief Snow will preside over the ceremony.
