The career academy included trainees from Ocean City, Atlantic City and Pleasantville fire departments, who completed their training over an eight-week period.
Armstrong was also recently appointed as a career firefighter in the Ventnor City Fire Department.
Patrick Armstrong Jr. and Hayden Smallwood recently graduated from the Firefighter Academy and will be volunteer firefigherts in Longport.
