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.
