🔥 June Employee Spotlight: Fire Fighter/Paramedic Jenny Mathes 🔥
This month, our June Spotlight shines on Fire Fighter/Paramedic Jenny Mathes! 🔦
Jenny has been with the Circleville Fire Department for a little over three years and was one of the department’s first lateral transfer employees. Her dedication to serving others extends well beyond CFD. Jenny and her twin sister, Becky—also a Fire Fighter/Paramedic with CFD—volunteer with a regional search and rescue team in Cincinnati called Cincinnati Search and Recovery (CSAR). Together, they work alongside their two SAR K9s: Bindi, trained for cadaver and live-find searches, and Gracie, trained for cadaver detection and therapy support. Over the past five years, Jenny and Becky have dedicated thousands of hours to training and responding, helping bring answers and closure to families of missing or lost loved ones.
In her free time, Jenny enjoys hiking, training her dogs, gardening, and attending metal concerts with her husband.
Captain Scott Cavanaugh noted that Jenny is highly motivated to train and continually works to enhance her job-related skills. He also shared that she provides excellent patient care, and has exceptional interactions with members of the community, stating Jenny has been a great addition to the department and the City.
Thank you, Jenny, for your dedication, compassion, and service both on and off duty! 🚒🐾👏
