Boerne firefighters honored in pinning ceremony

Families, friends and fellow first responders gathered last week to recognize several members of the Boerne Fire Department.

As part of the 2025 Firefighter Pinning Ceremony, the members of the 2025 Cadet Class, newly promoted driver operators, received their badges on Oct. 15, marking the beginning of their official service in their roles.

“The piece of metal that we ceremoniously attach to our uniforms each day is not a sign of graduation; it is a symbol of commitment,” Chief Manny Casarez said.
