Firefighter I is a semester long class that teaches all candidate firefighters the skills and knowledge required to be a firefighter in the State of New Jersey. Classes consist of a combination of lecture and hands on training. Students are required to show understanding and proficiency via both written tests and hands on practical skill testing. The final weeks of class the students take a state written exam and participate in live fire evolutions, where they demonstrate the skills learned.

While attending the Academy Firefighter Rosenblum also fulfilled requirements as a Volunteer Firefighter in the Cherry Hill Fire Department. These requirements consist of spending a certain amount of hours riding along with the career firefighters in both the engine and ladder companies. During these hours FF Rosenblum was required to answer emergency calls, demonstrate and practice the skills he was learning in class via training, and continue to learn the ways of the Cherry Hill Fire Department. Firefighter Rosenblum was specifically mentored by Captain Ray Sooy of Squrt 51, who spent many hours ensuring Firefighter Rosenblum was progressing well with his studies and training, and answering any questions he may have. His guidance and support were greatly appreciated by Firefighter Rosenblum.
