Dedicated Lyle Fire Department firefighter Brian Pfealy recently was successful in completing the rigorous 13-week Mid-Columbia Fire & Rescue Apprentice Academy as a new, full-time recruit.

Lyle Fire Department is proud of Brian's tireless efforts and dedication to his training over the last several months across the river in The Dalles, Oregon. Responding to the Rowena Fire the night before graduation until sunrise and then participating in the afternoon graduation ceremony shows Brian's on-going dedication to our community and region.

Brian will continue to serve Lyle Fire Department as a volunteer while working as a full-time firefighter.
