Congratulations to Garry and all his helpers on pulling off a great "Meet the Recruits" night. Over 40 people attended the dinner and social event at the fire station, with almost the entire recruit class present. Each one introduced themselves and their spouses and pets (if applicable). Dinner was fabulous and everyone had a great time. It was nice to see Duane Adsett and his family in attendance. Duane started his fire service career in Sooke over 20 years ago as an impressionable 16 year old junior firefighter. After 10 years as a volunteer with Sooke he made it to the big leagues when he was hired by Oak Bay Fire Department. Now after ten years with this department he is now an Acting Lt. Duane is one of many Sooke volunteers that has gone on to a successful career in the fire service. He is also Mr. May in the Greater Victoria FD Calendar - A great fundraiser - (just ask my wife as I am sure that is why she bought the calendar). Also great to see Nakima up and around after her accident the other day.
Anyway, back to our current recruits - congratulations on getting this far. In just two short weeks you will be getting your pagers and keys (well, all but one I hear) Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing you on the rigs and responding to calls.
