Otras personas que están ahí, otros jefes también, que él llegó más lejos, ¿verdad? Y con el esposo de la suba, el gerente. Sí, sí, el esposo de Silvia, sí. Yo no sabía cómo, qué tan bueno era él. Bueno, los beneficiarios de las becas se benefician de estos torneos y han llegado a diferentes agencias, como el Departamento de Bomberos de Los Ángeles, Cal Fire, el Departamento de Bomberos de Los Ángeles y el Servicio Forestal de los Estados Unidos. También, los bomberos ofrecen mentoría a los jóvenes interesados para brindarles más información, compartir sus experiencias en las carreras de bomberos. Y cuando los jóvenes son bastante grandes, tienen la edad para solicitar estas academias, pueden ir y tomar exámenes para programaciones y reuniones con departamentos locales. Y en agradecimiento por su trabajo, para ayudar a los jóvenes y cumplir con los sueños para ser bomberos. Para emergencias también quisiera darles este certificado de reconocimiento.
