Last week on August 3rd, recruit class 26-01 began.

17 Paulding County recruits, joined by 2 Haralson County recruits, started their journey to becoming firefighters.

This will be a grueling 11 weeks. Focusing on mental and physical strength. Recruits will be held to a high physical and academic standard.

Good luck to each recruit. It is an honor to serve and protect Paulding County.
