COFEMS Recruit Academy 2: Second to None By: Susan Turner, Senior Administrative Assistant, County of Orange Fire & EMS
County of Orange Fire & EMS is proud to present the graduates of Recruit Academy 2, who completed their rigorous training and officially graduated on June 4, 2025. Their journey began in November, when they embarked on EMT training, laying the foundation for their emergency medical skills. From there, they advanced into Firefighter I and II, honing their abilities to serve and protect their community with courage and professionalism. Throughout their academy experience, Recruit Academy 2 lived by their motto: "Second to None." This guiding principle reflected their commitment to excellence, teamwork, and resilience. In keeping with tradition, they carried a guidon throughout their training—a symbol of unity and pride. Their success would not have been possible without the dedication of their instructors, fellow County of Orange Fire & EMS staff, and the volunteer fire companies that supported them along the way. The collective effort of these mentors and professionals ensured that each recruit was prepared to take on the challenges of emergency response with skill and confidence. As they step into their roles as firefighters and EMTs, Recruit Academy 2 carries forward the legacy of service, ready to make a difference in the lives of those they serve. Congratulations to this outstanding class—Second to None!
