The Manteca Fire Academy Class of 2026 graduates — including nine new positions and a replacement firefighter — pose for a photo after Friday’s graduation. They are, back row from left, Alexander Nand, Tia Torino, Francisco Hernandez, Ozell Thompson, and Joshua Pattee. Front row; Vincent Russo, Jordan Palmer, Tyler Ellks, Charles Corn, and Andrew Ross.
Francisco Hernandez wanted to work for Manteca Fire because his grandfather once was a farm worker in the Manteca countryside.
