The Warrensburg Fire Department has recently graduated nine new firefighters from their orientation academy. Captain Terry Hill and Battalion Chief Bryan Wilson manage the academy for new part time firefighters. They go through a modified version of basic firefighter with an emphasis on the way Warrensburg operates and are taught by the officers and firefighters at Warrensburg. Some of these newest firefighters will enter the student resident program in Warrensburg which is managed by Chief Wilson. The part time program is a very valuable program to the department, supplementing the career staff during times of need and filling in as minimum manning as needed.
