Chief Eric Smith reports that the Gloucester Fire Department is welcoming a new firefighter from the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy’s 50-day Career Recruit Firefighting Training Program.
Firefighter/Paramedic Abigail Meadowcroft graduated from the academy on Friday, March 17, and now becomes one of four women working for the Gloucester Fire Department.
Firefighter Meadowcroft was born in Beverly and raised in Salem. A true New Englander, she attended Salem State University, earning her Bachelor degree in 2018 and Paramedic certification through Dean College in 2021.
The 50-day MFA program prepares firefighters for basic firefighting, including search and rescue, ladder operations, water supply, pump operation, fire attack and life safety lessons, as well as non-fire responses and hazardous material response.
Firefighter Meadowcroft will now begin serving as a probationary firefighter, learning from her colleagues as they work in Gloucester.
“Becoming a firefighter isn’t easy, but Abigail stepped up to the challenge and showed how committed she is during her time in the academy,” said Chief Smith. “We are very proud of her effort, and we look forward to her positive contributions to the Gloucester Fire Department and the community.”
