Recruit Classes 3 & 4: One Team, One Fight By: Susan Turner, Senior Administrative Assistant, County of Orange Fire & EMS
County of Orange Fire & EMS proudly recognizes the graduates of Recruit Classes 3 and 4, who completed their combined academy and officially graduated on November 13, 2025. Their journeys began at different times—RC3 entering training in January and RC4 starting in May—yet they ultimately came together as one class, united in purpose and determination. Throughout months of intensive Fire and EMS training, these recruits pushed themselves to master the essential skills of emergency response. From medical care to fireground operations, they demonstrated resilience, teamwork, and a strong commitment to serving the Orange County community. Their class embraced the motto “One Team, One Fight,” a reflection of the unity and shared drive that carried them from their first day of training to graduation night. This motto became the spirit of their academy experience, guiding them through challenges and strengthening their bond as a team. The success of Recruit Classes 3 & 4 would not have been possible without the dedication of their instructors, County of Orange Fire & EMS staff, and the many volunteer fire companies who supported their development. The mentorship and encouragement provided throughout the academy helped prepare each recruit to step confidently into their role. As they begin their careers as Firefighter/EMS providers, the graduates of RC3 and RC4 carry forward the values of service, integrity, and leadership. We congratulate this outstanding class and look forward to the contributions they will make in protecting and caring for our community—One Team, One Fight.
