"Romain Fevrier, 20, is the fourth in a series of interns who have come to study in Butte County as part of an international program that began in 2000.
CDF Forester Rich Eliot and Battalion Chief Mike Shorrock are Romain's professional tutors of record.
"Romain has been very successful in his internship," said Chief Eliot. "We expect he will pass his oral exams with flying colors and wish him the best of luck in his fire service career." Romain's project topic is on Resource Management and Methods to Prevent or Reduce Wildfires.
"Romain has spent much of his time training at our fire stations, but he has also been able to see some of our beautiful state during his free time. He has visited the redwoods, Yosemite, Tahoe and Lake Almanor," said Battalion Chief Mike Shorrock. "He really enjoys outdoor sports like rock climbing. He is an intelligent, well rounded individual who will be a great asset to the fire service."
Romain has been staying at the home of Division Chief Rich Eliot, who teaches about the importance of resource management and how to protect properties to make them safe from fire.
"A wildland fire can damage or destroy the many values in life that we seek to protect, such as economic, water, wildlife, aesthetic, and recreational values," Eliot said. "Romain has done very well here, and the Northern California climate is similar to the Mediterranean climate of Southern France where he lives....." More
