The Vista Fire Department would like to congratulate Firefighter Guillaume Pestie on completing his probationary period in the Department through the VFD Mentor Program!

Since joining the Vista Fire Department, Firefighter Guillaume Pestie has completed the New York State Firefighter I course and will be cleared as an Interior Firefighter upon his 18th Birthday later this year. Firefighter Guillaume Pestie actively participates during calls & drills and has been mentored throughout his probationary period by Lieutenant Dan Castelhano.

The Vista Fire Department mentor program is a process where new members are paired up with a senior member to help guide them through their probationary period in the Department. This program was developed to help transition new members into the Department by understanding call response, attending weekly Monday drills and preparing them for classes they may be taking in their first year with the Department.

The Vista Volunteer Fire Department is looking for new members! For more info on joining, click here: https://www.vistafd.org/content/become/ or apply online here: https://www.vistafd.org/apply
