Wrentham Fire Department Deputy Chief Patrick McMorrow has graduated from the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy’s Chief Fire Officer Management Training Program, State Fire Marshal Jon M. Davine announced.

McMorrow was among 43 fire service leaders from across Massachusetts to complete the four-month program for new chief officers and chief officer candidates. The training is delivered jointly by the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy and the Edward J. Collins Jr. Center for Public Management at UMass Boston.

The program provides instruction in the managerial aspects of leading a municipal fire department, including human resource management, executive leadership, government and organizational structures, legal issues, public finance, media relations, and labor relations. Participants also complete out-of-class assignments and student presentations.

“The Chief Fire Officer program is a tremendous opportunity for new chiefs and rising officers,” said State Fire Marshal Davine. “Completing the program is a major accomplishment and I want to congratulate all of them on their initiative and dedication to professional development.”

The Massachusetts Firefighting Academy, a division of the Department of Fire Services, offers the tuition-free program for fire service leaders across the Commonwealth.
