🚒 Big accomplishments and new responsibilities at the Fairchild Fire Department! 🚒
This morning, A1C Dedic was awarded her black helmet during a ceremony recognizing her achievement and formal ascension to a higher level of skill, responsibility, and leadership as an apparatus Driver/Operator.
She has demonstrated the dedication, knowledge, and readiness required to take on this important role, and the Fairchild Fire Department is proud to have her behind the wheel — safely delivering crews to the scene, putting water on the fire, and helping train the next generation of Driver/Operators.
We would also like to congratulate Chief Dinges on receiving his white helmet and stepping into the role of Station Chief. His dedication, hard work, leadership, and commitment to the department have earned him this opportunity to take on an even greater level of responsibility.
Both accomplishments represent the hard work, dedication, and continued professional growth that make the Fairchild Fire Department stronger.
Congratulations, A1C Dedic and Chief Dinges! We’re proud of you both and look forward to seeing you continue to lead, serve, and make a difference. 🚒🔥
Welcome to the black and white helmet clubs!
