Stephen Myers, Jr. has successfully completed Essentials of Firefighting (Firefighter 1) training at the Montgomery County Department of Public Safety Fire Academy. Steve graduated last night along with 25 other recruits of Class 2404
.
Firefighter 1 is a 188-hour entry-level national certification course our firefighters must complete before they may fight fire inside a burning structure. In addition to learning the science and behavior of fire and various methods of fire suppression, recruits are also certified in hazardous materials operations, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid.

Steve was born in Phoenixville but moved away at an early age. He returned to the area several years ago and now lives with his wife. Steve joined our department as a volunteer in January of this year. Congratulations, Steve, and thank you for choosing to serve your community!

Your Phoenixville Fire Department is a 'combination' department which means our team is a mix of career and volunteer firefighters. We are always looking for new volunteers to serve as firefighters, fire police, medical responders or administration. Message us if you are interested and have the time to commit to your community.
