Out of probation and fully competent
Firefighter David Hales has completed his development assessment and earned his black diamonds. The diamonds are worn on the back of a firefighter’s helmet, and they signal one thing to everyone on station: the person under it is fully competent and out of probation.
Dave’s diamonds were presented by Station Manager Parkyn. Getting to this point took a huge amount of work and commitment, and he is now a fully competent member of the Bude crew.
The station summed it up in three words as it passed on its congratulations: “Well deserved, mate.”
