The Ridgefield Fire Department is welcoming three new recruits. They began their firefighting journey this week and will take part in daily training at the fire department until they go away to the Connecticut Fire Academy for recruit training. Once at the Fire Academy in late August, they will be attending the recruit program for 4 months and return to Ridgefield just before Christmas. All three previously worked as part of the Brookfield EMS team as Paramedics.
