Department was nominated for Employee of the Month; and,
WHEREAS, Adam D. Sister is deserving of this special recognition for responding to an
emergency call in less than a minute after dispatch; during this incident, Firefighter Sister was acting

basic life support protocols without supervision until advanced life support could arrive. All of this is

assisting in building construction and installing radio equipment.; and,
