A Firefighter Interview Training Seminar hosted by Tempe Fire Department was held on June 1, 2013 at the East Valley Institute of Technology. More than 230 young men and women showed up to participate in the four hour class led by Tempe Assistant Fire Chief John Valenzuela. For just a $ 25 donation, the firefighter hopefuls were able to learn first hand what they should be doing to best prepare for the firefighting career hiring process. The event raised more than $ 5,800 and was a huge success. Event attendees had great reviews of the content covered in the seminar, and we wish them well in their career endeavours! Thank you to Chief Valenzeula and the Tempe Fire Department for hosting this great seminar and partnering with the 100 Club!
