Retirement Dinner
The 2006
Retirement and Awards Dinner was held in April. The Firefighter of the
Year Award was presented to Firefighter Andy Mallow. Andy is the President
of the FBA and Sergeant-at-Arms for the Union. Andy has done several
projects to benefit the body on his own time and spends countless hours
handling Union business and preparing for contract negotiations. The
Edward Kelly Award for a civilian in a life saving act was presented to
Station #3 neighbor Russell Hartman. While walking home the night of Jan.
19th, Rusty found the house at 711 Casey St. on fire. Acting quickly he
went to all the doors and windows ensuring that all the occupants woke up
and escaped safely. His actions undoubtedly saved the lives of everyone
inside.
Retirees honored were Lt. Greg Zahorian, a 20 year veteran who was injured
in the line of duty, and Captain Mark Dolan also with 20 years on the job.
We wish them both good luck in retirement. |
