Day 4 did not disappoint. Recruits started out with PT where the recruits pushed through adversity and overcame their biggest challenge to date. To follow after their hard work the recruits decided they wanted a rematch of their game of kickball with a visit of the patrol officers.After PT the recruits took a visit to the Palmyra Fire Department. where they enjoyed training in fire operations and safety equipment. Some recruits enjoyed getting all geared up and jumping into the engines to see first hand how the entire operation works. Thank you PFD for welcoming us and supporting our academy as always!After a busy morning recruits enjoyed some delicious BBQ donated by MISSION BBQ of Marlton. Thank you to our lunch sponsor for refueling our recruits after such a busy day!To wrap up the day recruits worked on their Class #8 banner and worked on team building in preparation for graduation on Friday.
