Congratulations to Abby Dee Thompson on completing her probationary period with CBFPD!
Her final evaluation included three fire scenarios that demonstrated her ability to operate safely as part of a fire suppression team. Abby celebrated this milestone by trading in her yellow helmet for a black helmet, signifying that she is now a fully qualified firefighter with CBFPD.
We’re proud to have you on the team, Abby!
