Meet the Team Mondays
🎉🎉We’re excited to welcome you back to our Firefighter Spotlight Series. 🎉🎉
At ECFD, it’s the people who respond to the calls who truly define who we are. Their work isn’t always visible and their efforts often go unseen. But anyone who has ever needed them understands their impact – they are critical to keeping our community safe. This series gives us the opportunity to highlight the individuals who show up day in and day out to serve our community.
Each Monday, we’ll introduce you to a member of ECFD. Sharing not only their role as a firefighter but also a glimpse of who they are beyond the uniform.
Without further ado, to kick off our return, we’re proud to introduce Firefighter Moldenhauer!
