Eight new recruits are officially joining the ranks of the Regina Fire Department.
The new recruits were given their caps and badges in a ceremony on Nov. 30, which was held at the #4 Fire Station.
The moment was very special for new recruit Austin Brown. He received his hat from his dad who is a captain with the fire department.
“It’s a special moment, you know, I’ve looked up to him my whole life, so you know so to receive that from him meant a lot to me, but I know it meant a lot to him too,” said firefighter recruit Austin Brown.
“I am very proud of him, it even kind of brought a tear to your eye. To see your son, or to see any of your children to grow up and this is sort of the start of their next life, I am very proud of my son,” said Cpt. Tod Brown for Regina Fire and Protective Services.
Following the ceremony, the new firefighters were assigned to their platoons and fire stations.
