Wanaque Fire Department Congratulated Evan Schamble on Passing Firefighter I

Wanaque, N.J. — October 30 — The Wanaque Boro Fire Department formally acknowledged member Evan Schamble for his successful completion of Firefighter I training at the Bergen County Fire Academy.

Schamble participated in a rigorous six-week training regimen, mandating eight hours of daily instruction, which integrated both theoretical classroom sessions and hands-on practical exercises to equip newly recruited firefighters with the essential competencies for emergency response operations.

The Firefighter I curriculum at the Bergen County Fire Academy provided foundational instruction in critical firefighting competencies, encompassing fire attack strategies, hose operations, ladder utilization, search and rescue protocols, and comprehensive firefighter safety measures.

Schamble's accomplishment held profound familial resonance, as he was the offspring of George Schamble, a veteran departmental member who dedicated over two decades to the force before ascending to the role of assistant chief. At the recognition ceremony, George was afforded the privilege of conferring upon his son his Firefighter I certificate, a moment of significant import for both individuals within the department.

New Jersey's Firefighter I curriculum equipped entry-level personnel with the requisite competencies to execute assigned responsibilities under appropriate supervision.

Successfully concluding this program signified a pivotal milestone in an individual's professional trajectory and their ongoing commitment to service.

The Wanaque Boro Fire Department extended its congratulations to Evan on this notable achievement and expressed its support for his ongoing advancement within the fire service.
