Date: May 3, 2000 Item: G-2 <br /> To: Steve Sarkozy <br /> From: Greg Peterson, Deputy Chief <br /> Re: Instructor of the Year Award <br /> At the request of chief Gasaway,the following is a synopsis of the recent recognition that <br /> I received. <br /> I was a member of the Falcon Heights Fire Department for nine years and served many <br /> roles. When I left the department I was the I" Assistant Chief. I then returned to my <br /> hometown and joined the Roseville Fire Department in 1997. I was appointed to the <br /> position of Deputy Chief of Training this past November. <br /> I was awarded the instructor of the year award by the Fire Instructor Association of <br /> Minnesota (FIRM) for my achievements as a Fire Instructor. The award is presented on <br /> an annual basis to one instructor from the state of Minnesota for their professionalism in <br /> training. <br /> I have been an instructor for over 12 years and this is the first award I have received for <br /> my training efforts. I was nominated for the award by a fellow firefighter and at first was <br /> unaware of my candidacy. As a candidate, my nomination was reviewed by the Fire <br /> Instructor of the year Committee assembled by FIRM to review all potential award <br /> recipients before making their decision. I was then notified on February 26'h that I was <br /> the award winner and received the award on February 1 9t',2000. <br /> FIRM was formed in 1969 and currently has a membership of nearly a 1,000 members <br /> from the United States to Canada, with the majority being from Minnesota. FIRM has <br /> bestowed the Instructor of the Year Award since 1979, and I am the first member of the <br /> Roseville fire Department to receive this award. <br />
