County Administrator Mr. Tim Hemstreet recognized the graduates, along with Loudoun Fire Chief W. Keith Brower Jr. and Fire-Rescue Commissioner Doug Rambo.

The graduates participated in the intensive five-month training program at the Loudoun County Fire-Rescue Training Academy in Leesburg where classes were held on evenings and weekends.
