Every single one of our firefighter minimum standards students went to UNF today to walk the stadium stairs that JFRD’s Eng. Thornton arranged. Thank you for that! Our students were tired but they enjoyed being able to do it!

We are so proud of each and every one of you that participated in memory of all the firefighters that selflessly lost their lives in the 9/11 terror attacks.
