Belchertown, MA. — June 17 — Julianis, a high school intern, received recognition from the Belchertown Fire Department during a practical internship. Julianis learned how a local fire department works while gaining experience in firefighting, fire prevention, and fire administration throughout the curriculum. Additionally, the internship exposed me to public education, disaster planning, and day-to-day station duties.

These kinds of programs support future recruitment efforts by introducing students to jobs in the fire service. Julianis's commitment during the internship was acknowledged by department authorities, who also complimented him for supporting firefighters and community-wide public safety programs.
