INFORMATION: The Advanced Firefighter Certificate is awarded to firefighters who have shown a commitment to education, professional training, and on-the-job experience. It is a recognition for individuals achieving high training standards as set forth by the NC State Fireman’s Association and is the highest award a firefighter in the state can receive from the NC State Fireman’s Association. This prestigious award goes above the NC Office of the State Fire Marshal initial firefighter certification requirements.
Since its inception in 2004, only 784 firefighters have been awarded the Advanced Firefighter Certificate. Out of 55,000 FF in our state, only 1.4% have attained this achievement.
We are here tonight to present to Firefighter Hendrix Valenzuela his Advanced Firefighter Certificate and congratulate him on now being one of 1.4% of firefighters in the state to achieve this award.
The certificate reads:
“Be it known that in recognition of the attainment of training and educational objectives commensurate with the role of volunteer or career firefighter and of the personal devotion and service to the people of North Carolina, the Board of Directors and the Executive Director do hereby aware to Hendrix Alexis Valenzuela this Advanced Firefighter Certificate.
