Jackson Fire District 4 Welcomes Two New Firefighters Following Intensive Training
Jackson Township Fire District No. 4 has announced the addition of two new firefighters, James Harper and Nicholas Havens, following the completion of an intensive onboarding program.
According to the department, both recruits
recently finished an 80-hour orientation and training course designed to familiarize them with district operations, equipment, and performance expectations. The program included hands-on instruction in key firefighting skills such as self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) use, hose deployment, search techniques, forcible entry, apparatus operations, and safety procedures.
Fire officials said Harper and Havens demonstrated a strong work ethic and professionalism throughout the training process, along with a clear willingness to learn.
The two will continue their preparation next week as they head to their respective fire academies, where they will undergo further instruction before beginning active service.
District officials said the new additions will help bolster the department’s ability to serve residents across Jackson Township.
