Serreyn was presented with his black helmet by Chief Rowland, a traditional symbol indicating that his probationary period had been completed and that he had achieved full operational status within the department.

Watertown Fire Rescue shared the news, highlighting Serreyn's dedication to serving the community. The completion of this rigorous probationary phase confirms that Serreyn has met all the necessary standards and training requirements to operate as a full-fledged

Firefighter/Paramedic.
