Lincoln Fire & Rescue's annual awards and recognition event was held last night, and I was honored to be in attendance. In addition to honoring fire employees, the Emergency Communications Center also recognized dispatchers, and citizens were honored as well for their life-saving efforts.
The Phoenix Awards go to citizens, dispatchers, and firefighters whose role in handling a medical emergency contributed to a life-saving response. There were several dozen of these awards bestowed. The length of award winners is considerable, but I particularly want to mention the Firefighter of the Year Award, which went to Mike Hohbein, and also Kelly Davila, recognized as Dispatcher of the Year.
It was a very nice event, which began with a dinner prepared by firefighters. By the way, everything you've heard about firefighters' cooking? It's all true. Congratulations to all the award recipients on a job well done!

Did Tully get an award?
Congratulations to everyone! We're so blessed to have you all looking out for us. And to ARRRRG: Where do you come up with this nutty stuff???!!! LOL!
He has a treasure chest, of course!
congratulations!
No doubt that the firefighters are good cooks. They have plenty of time to cook. I'm glad they can do as much as they can while on duty so they can cook for awards nights.
Steve, Why didn't I think of that??!!
Anonymous 8:40 am: LFR has many talents that I'm sure you would be envious of.
I don't know how many times Arrrrg has caused me to almost choke because I was reading one of his comments and drinking hot coffee at the same time. You are a public safety hazard Arrrrg. Keep it up LOL.
