FRITA has to hand it to the One World student team…you all have really stepped it up! All four recent Graduates of the Career Firefighter program at the JIBC Fire & Safety Division have spent the last two days working with their Panamanian counterparts preparing them for their practical skills exams from February 10-14. It’s been a mutually gratifying experience for all as they teach and learn together…a true professional and cultural exchange!

It’s been a fast-paced 3 days since we landed in Panama!  The One World team has had very full schedules including Spanish lessons, road travel to visit fire stations along the way to Santiago and taking in cultural explorations and local foods!  Now that we have arrived, the One World students quickly set to helping the recruit class of BCBRP to prepare for their practical skills evaluations..
