The Findlay Fire Department has hired two new firefighters.

Justin Hartman and Drew McClain were recently sworn in by Mayor Christina Muryn.

They are pictured above with the mayor and Fire Chief Josh Eberle.

Hartman and McClain are local residents and graduates of Findlay High School.

They both attended the Ohio Fire Academy in Reynoldsburg, where they completed the Firefighter II and Emergency Medical Technician courses.

Both are also current members of the Vanlue Volunteer Fire Department.

Recruits Hartman and McClain will work their first two weeks on a Monday-Friday schedule, after which they will be assigned to a shift.

All Findlay firefighters serve a two-year probationary period.
