Congratulations to the Fire Academy Class of 2025-B!

Fire Academy 2025B

Congratulations to the 21 graduates of the 2025-B Saint Paul Fire Academy.  This is the second fire academy to graduate in 2025 totaling 42 new firefighters.  These 21 graduates came to us as licensed firefighters and EMT's. Some are also paramedics and were hired through a lateral transfer process. They completed an accelerated 8 week fire academy (usually 14 weeks) and are now ready to serve the residents, visitors and businesses of Saint Paul!

Welcome to the capital city fire department!

“This graduating class brings a unique blend of experience and professionalism to our department. They are ready to serve the city day one.” Fire Chief Butch Inks
