Wexford Volunteer Fire Company   



Certifications


The Wexford Volunteer Fire Company is proud to be a participant of the PA State Fire Commisioner's Participating Department Certification Program.  While all Wexford firefighters are required to complete Pennsylvania's Essentials of Firefighting training program, firefighter certification is not a part of the program.  Firefighters must pass an examination and practical skills test based on nationally recognized standards in order to recieve various certifcation levels such as Firefighter I or II.  Departments that have a certain percentage of their firefighters with certifications can apply for special recognition from the Office of the State Fire Commissioner.  Part of this recognition includes a decal, pictured at right, that can be displayed on each fire department vehicle. The following Wexford firefighters have attained their certifications to help the company receive this honor: 

  • Craig Barton- Firefighter I
  • Tim Cole- Firefighter I
  • Megan Fasick- Firefighter I
  • Tim Flaherty- Firefighter I, Fire Instructor I
  • Brett Harsh- Firefighter I
  • Bill Hayes- Firefighter I & II, Fire Instructor I
  • Mark Hetzel- Firefighter I
  • Rob Hetzel- Firefighter I
  • Chong Kim- Firefighter I
