Two Chumash Fire Department firefighters received special recognition at the Allan Hancock College Fire Academy graduation ceremony held on December 17.
“It speaks volumes to the level of firefighters we have working for our fire department,” said JP Zavalla, battalion chief for the Chumash Fire Department. “Not only did these individuals represent themselves during the course of the academy they also represented the Chumash Fire Department and we’re very proud of that.”
James Kennedy, an engineer with the Chumash Fire Department, received the Outstanding Cadet award. The Outstanding Cadet honor is awarded by fellow cadets. Only one award is presented at each academy.
