Congratulations to Abby Dee Thompson on completing her probationary period with CBFPD!
Her final evaluation included three fire scenarios that demonstrated her ability to operate safely as part of a fire suppression team. Abby celebrated this milestone by trading in her yellow helmet for a black helmet, signifying that she is now a fully qualified firefighter with CBFPD.
We’re proud to have you on the team, Abby!

This week at the fire academy, students practiced ventilation methods, burned a dollhouse to visualize fire flow paths, and led a review session to reinforce their skills.
Thank you to Captain Jay Bettencourt, Tyler Brown, and Tom McDonough for instructing and supporting our academy members.
We’re proud of the students’ hard work and commitment to learning.
