Eight firefighters from Saudi Arabia graduated from a unique training program with Henrico County Division of Fire, marking the first time Virginia has hosted this type of international fellowship program.
The Saudi Aramco firefighters have been working alongside local crews since May, responding to emergency calls after completing their evaluations. More than two dozen major fire departments across the country participate in similar programs.
During the graduation ceremony held Wednesday at the Henrico Theatre, the vice president of gas operations for Aramco told the graduates that the day was not only about their achievement, but about honoring their courage and dedication to protecting and saving lives.
