Teaneck, N.J. — October 31 — Seven probationary firefighters with the Teaneck Fire Department have graduated from the Bergen County Fire Academy, completing an important step in their preparation for fireground operations and emergency response.
The graduates include Probationary Firefighters Kyle Campbell, Timothy Tedesco, Israel Infield, Seth Hanauer, Igor Silva, Todd Burns and Ariel Pena.
Chief Joseph Berchtold joined several of the graduates for the ceremony. Campbell, Tedesco, Infield and Hanauer were pictured with the chief, while Silva, Burns and Pena were not present for the photograph.
The graduation was recognized by Teaneck Firefighters FMBA Local 42, which congratulated the seven recruits and wished them safe and successful careers with the department.
Fire academy training provides new firefighters with the foundation needed to operate safely on the fireground. The transition from probationary status to active service also requires continued department training, experience and teamwork.
