| Training Chief Attends 2024 F.O.O.L.S Convention
Training Chief Stephen Stromeyer recently attended the Fraternal Order of Leatherheads Society’s (F.O.O.L.S) annual convention in Baton Rouge.
F.O.O.L.S is an organization that was started in 1995 by a group of Central Florida Firemen. This group, known today as Founding F.O.O.L.S, had a passion for not only the camaraderie and brotherhood that is forged between firefighters, but the rich tradition and heritage of the Fire Service.
The F.O.O.L.S. exemplify the true meaning of the Brotherhood by providing training opportunities to Brother and Sister Firefighters worldwide. They also organize benefits to assist not only firefighters and their families in need, but their communities as well. The F.O.O.L.S. exist to strengthen the Brotherhood of our chosen profession and fuel the flame of passion they have for their calling.
The F.O.O.L.S. also believe in providing real fire training for real firefighters. They believe that it is their duty to be as well trained as they can possibly be. This keeps them and their brothers and sisters safe on the fire ground. “We owe it to ourselves, our brothers and sisters, their families, and to the citizens we protect.”
This year’s convention featured a training day and a stair climb at LSU Tiger Stadium. |
