PHFR 2012 Firefighter of the Year |
|
 |
Firefighter/Paramedic Dustin Seabolt was
chosen by his peers to receive the Palm Harbor Fire
Rescue Firefighter of the Year award. Those who nominated Dustin
did so because of two life saving incidents during 2012. The first
incident occurred on June 24, 2012 during the time that our area was
experiencing extreme weather and flooding as a result of tropical
storm Debby. FF/PM Seabolt rescued a 15 year old who was trapped in
rapidly moving water. The second incident occurred on August 7, 2012
when while operating at a townhouse fire, Dustin searched,
found, and removed an unconscious woman from the fire.
Congratulations FF/PM Seabolt! |

Congratulations to Lt. Bill Fisher who was
nominated by his peers because of his continued support of the fire
department through extra work. Bill, using his skills in repair and
maintenance can always be called upon to assist in the maintenance
and repair of equipment around the department. Examples include
station exhaust fans, the mounting of a tank on the brush truck,
repair of small equipment, and the yard sprinkler system. Bill often
does these tasks using his own tools and without being asked. He
also is a very active participant in the fire department honor
guard. Congratulations Lt. Fisher! |
