We celebrated the Thurston County Fire Training  Academy graduating class 26-1. We are proud of the 18 recruits from around the county who completed the Academy. MBLFD is especially proud of our four recruits: FF Jon Walker, FF Christopher "Kit" Redwine, FF Sam LeBlanc, and FF Isaiah Sheperd-Gaw.

These four recruits will begin EMT school this month while starting their volunteer services with our FIre District. CONGRATULATIONS Recruits! We are so happy to have you aboard!
