Matt Falletti presents Rich Gokey with his yellow helmet on March 6, 2019 after his completion of mandatory Firefighter I training. Probationary firefighters are issued a black helmet which signifies non-interior qualification. Upon completion of Firefighter I, they receive their yellow helmet, which designates an interior firefighter. Firefighter I training involves several months of classroom and hands on training. This is the first major accomplishment of a new firefighter.
