Firefighting and education are both in the future for two Glendale graduating high school seniors, but the consistent theme on a day in their honor was family.
Cesar Arvisu, of Glendale High School, and Arturo Pedrego, of Independence High School, each received $1,000 scholarships to advance their firefighting aspirations at Glendale Community College this fall. They received their awards Friday at Fire Station 154, 4439 W. Peoria Ave., from the Valley Hispanic Bomberos organization.
Both have gone through the Fire Science Program curriculum provided by the Glendale Union High School District, although their inspiration to pursue firefighting goes deeper.
