THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 Page 7 State Reps take part in Fire Ops program Special to Th e Advocate O n Sept. 20, State Representatives Jessica Giannino and Donald Wong joined local and state offi cials across the commonwealth and participated in the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts (PFFM)’s Fire Ops program with Revere Fire Department’s own Captain Kevin O’Hara! According to Rep. Giannino, “It was a hands-on training where my colleagues and I had a unique opportunity to learn about the profession. We learned skills like cutting apart a car using the jaws of life, extinguishing an apartment fi re, performing CPR (on a mannequin), as well as learning more about fi re gear and equipment. Growing up with family members on both the police and fi re departments in Revere, I have an acute understanding of and admiration for these selfl ess professions. Today, after training with a live fi re and using powerful tools that can save lives, I discovered a new level of appreciation and deeper gratitude for these skilled professionals who run into emergency situations when others run out. I am so grateful for the members of Saugus Firefi ghters Local 1003 & Revere Fire Fighters Local 926 IAFF. Thank you for all that you do.” Rep. Giannino’s family are no strangers to public safety as her grandfather, Christy Giannino was a Revere fi refi ghter and her dad, Chris is a longtime Revere Police Sergeant. State Rep.
