Lacey Fire District 3 recently celebrated the graduation of Firefighter Preston Wallace from the Tacoma Fire Department's Paramedic Class of 2009. Preston is the first fire district Emergency Medical Technician to complete this intensive year-long training program since the partnership between LFD3 and TFD was developed. The course involves well over a thousand hours of classroom lectures, hands-on practice stations, and field rotations through various hospital, community, and fire department clinical training sites. Preston joined the fire district in 1999 as a volunteer firefighter and was hired into a full-time career position in 2005.

Now that he has completed the paramedic training course, Wallace will return to C Shift where he will complete the required testing and skill performance criteria to become certified to practice as a paramedic within Thurston County. We are all very proud of his tremendous accomplishment!

 
 
 
   
At the Annual Recognition Banquet held recently, the District awarded "Firefighter of the Year" to A-Shift Firefighter/EMT Neil Towers. Firefighter Towers has shown true professionalism and dedication to the District, the community, and his team members. Neil implemented and improved the "Vial of Life" program that District personnel and local health care providers utilize to access pertinent patient medical history. In addition, he was instrumental in improving firefighter safety through the addition of a compartment in the cab of the fire engines to safely store EMS equipment and supplies. Firefighter Towers consistently shows great concern for those we serve, often going beyond the call of the immediate emergency by providing follow-up assistance to affected families. Congratulations Neil. You are truly one of our Everyday Heroes.
