RECOGNITION OF CERT GRADUATES
Twice a year, the City of Ashland Fire and Rescue Department instructs a group of local citizc~ns in a 9-
week, 27 hours of emergency management procedures and graduates them into our Community
Emergency Response Team (CERT). These neighbors are trained to respond to emergencies ranging from
a house fire, building collapse, or heart attack to catastrophes like earthquakes, wildfires or floods. Once
trained, many CERT members attend monthly and quarterly meetings, and the annual "Summer Games"
for additional training and practice.
Basic Training classes are offered free to local community members, young and older. People interested
in trainings can contact the Ashland Fire Department.
The following people have completed the CERT training and the 3-hour hands-on exercise, and deserve
our recognition and appreciation for their commitment to community and their spirit of volunteerism.
