"Hay Hay, I came to Taunton in the fall of 2006 when I started my Associate's Degree at OCC.  I have now been here for almost two years and will be leaving in mid-august to pursue my Bachelor's Degree at Eastern Kentucky University.  During my time at Taunton I have had an awesome opportunity to learn from its many talented and knowledgeable members and gain experience with one of the best Fire Departments in Onondaga County."

 

Matthew Kraszewski

Hometown Fire department:  Boonville Volunteer Fire Company

"I've been a bunker in Taunton for two years and the thing I love most about being one is the training that I have received.  We train twice a week on so many different things which keeps my interest.  I like the fact that no matter what type of call we go on everyone knows their job and gets it done."

"I've been a bunker in Taunton for one year and I have learned a lot!  Coming to Taunton's bunk-in program has given me such a wide range of experience.  Experience that I will utilize in my future career."
