Thursday evening was a busy evening for Etna firefighters. While we hosted the North Hills TRT at our social hall with several members attending, we also attended the Fire Academy essentials graduation. Thank you to Shaler Area Highschool, Shaler Area Fire Chiefs, Allegheny County Emergency Services, and everybody who supported the education of these young members. Etna has long supported a junior firefighter program and this new highschool program is an amazing addition to our recruitment efforts. Firefighters Jayden Odille and Aidan Porter will complete their live fire training this Saturday bringing both them to interior firefighter status in the coming days. All of the members shown in these photos were junior firefighters who are now a critical part of our success. If you know a young person (14-18) who might be interested in learning more about public safety, we would love to talk to them.

Five individuals stand side by side in front of a fire truck. Four are dressed in dark blue fire department uniforms and one is in a white firefighter's shirt with insignia. The person in the middle is wearing business casual attire. They are all smiling.
A group of people sit in chairs inside an industrial-looking garage or warehouse with high ceilings and fluorescent lights. A large vehicle is parked near the back. The scene looks like a community meeting or event. Several tables are set up, and an American flag is visible.
A table covered with a red tablecloth is lined with trays of assorted cookies and baked goods. The table is decorated with small firetruck and fire safety-themed stickers and balloons. It is set up inside a garage-like space with a large white truck parked nearby.

Two men are embracing in front of a command center vehicle inside a large, well-lit garage with a high ceiling. One is in a light blue shirt, and the other is in a dark uniform. Chairs and a table with documents are visible in the foreground.
