Welcome
Congratulations Eric True!
This year's recipient of the Firefighter of the Year Award goes to (drum roll please) Eric True. True is a 12 year veteran member of HFD and serves as the department's Communication Officer. He is responsible for one on the most mission critical elements of the fire service – radios and dispatch services.
True supports the mission of the department, exemplifies our core values, and he demonstrates qualities of character, work ethic, and public service. He represents HFD on the regional Communications Advisory Board and Coconino County Emergency Management Exercise Planning Team as well as serves his country as a member of the Arizona Army National Guard.
Due to his unyielding commitments and dedication, it is no wonder that True was nominated by his peers to be the Exchange Club's Firefighter of the Year for Highlands Fire District. He truly deserves this recognition.
Thank you Eric!
