My experience with the Wake New Hope Fire Department has been one of the best experiences I have ever had. I joined the department as a @wakenewhopefirecadets in April of 2023, and later signed up for an internship with @wnhfd to learn more and spend more time at the station learning more about the fire service. I am grateful for the opportunities I have had and the experiences I have been a part of. From training, to emergency responses, to being a part of the brotherhood at WNHFD, it was an experience that will affect my future and I will never forget it.

Thank you to everyone at the Wake-New Hope Fire Department!

Batt. Chief Sok, Lt. Rigda, FF/EMT Greenhaus, and FF/EMT Sloan, along with firefighters from Western Wake Fire Rescue, Franklinton Fire Department, Knightdale Fire Department, Hopkins Fire Department and Rolesville Fire Department, all completed the three-day class taught by Instructor Jason Jordan from The REDS Team. All students successfully completed the skills using friction devices, figure 8 descenders, ascending a rope, using prusiks as safety devices and break bar racks for rappelling operations, self-rescue, and victim rescue.

Due to the pandemic, all students wore masks in class, and socially distanced as best as possible.
