Staff, Citizens, Business Partners Recognized at Fire & EMS Ceremony
<br />A crowd of about 200 gathered at the City's Emergency
<br />Services Center last week to be a part of the Fire & EMS
<br />Department's 2008 Awards & Recognition Ceremony. The
<br />department wishes to thank Councilors Clark and Poling for
<br />attending and Mayor Piercy for forwarding a statement.
<br />At the ceremony, Fire & EMS Chief, Randy Groves,
<br />administered oaths of office to the department's three new
<br />Deputy Chiefs (Joe Zaludek, Denise Giard, and Karen
<br />Brack, left to right) and to a captain, two deputy fire
<br />marshals, a lieutenant, two engineers, and one medic.
<br />Awards and commendations were presented to staff who
<br />served above and beyond the call of duty, and to citizens
<br />who assisted the department in its mission.
<br />The ceremony also featured several awards to local businesses who worked in partnership with Fire
<br />& EMS to help promote a safe community, including the department's new Corporate Partnership Award,
<br />which will be presented to only one business each year. The 2008 winner of this prestigious award (a
<br />large framed photomontage with engraved text, logo, and department patch) was B & R Auto Wrecking,
<br />which over the years has donated approximately 1,000 salvaged vehicles for the department to use in fire
<br />suppression and extrication training. The department congratulates all who received awards,
<br />commendations, and promotions. For more information, please contact Cinimint Harper, senior
<br />administrative specialist, at 682-7120.
