Sworn In

Joe was sworn in today and received his badge. The ceremony was held at Maitland City Hall. It was a very nice ceremony, which included several speakers, the pinning of the badges and a video presentation. After the ceremony the new fire fighters received their shift assignments. Joe was assigned to "C" shift at station 47. His first day is Tuesday. Joe gave us a tour of station 45 and then the new hires took some pictures by the trucks. The veteran fire fighters pulled their first prank on the rookies at this time. They had the rookies pose in front of the truck while they hid on the roof of the station with buckets of water and the hose. All the photographers counted to 3 and on 3 the vets dropped all the water off the roof and onto the rookies. The guys were all soaked. Click here to view all the pictures of the day.
