Congratulations Lt. Chris Halliday
OCVFA presented a Proclamation of Merit to former Manlius Fire and EMS / Manlius Professional Firefighters IAFF L-3316 Lieutenant Chris Halliday, for his years organizing and hosting the Manlius Fire Department Junior Firefighter Boot Camp program.
The program began in 2011 and continues to inspire young adults to join Fire and EMS. Throughout the week, Junior Firefighters experience what it is like to be a Firefighter/EMT in a “Fire Academy” like atmosphere.
Junior Firefighters receive training from Firefighters, EMT’s and Paramedics in the areas of: History and Tradition of the Fire Service, Fire Prevention/Safety, CPR/First Aid, Fire Service Tools and Equipment, Fire Suppression, Search and Rescue, Vehicle Extrication Physical Fitness and much more
Once again, we at OCVFA congratulate LT. Halliday
