New hires and promotions recieve their badges during city council ceremony
Monday, May 13, 2013, was a special night for Forest Grove Fire & Rescue, as three of our employees received their new badges during a ceremony at the weekly meeting of the Forest Grove City Council. This is a ceremony that we take part in whenever we hire a new employee, or promote internally, and is meant to not only recognize them for the hard work that earned them this honor, but also to instill pride in service to our community. During this ceremony Fire Chief Michael Kinkade gave a short speech, and then read the oath of office to three employees, Fire Inspector/Captain Chris Woodford, Lieutenant Tony Carter, and Firefighter Cassie Knierim. Inspector Woodford's badge was pinned to his Class A Uniform by his wife Robin, Lieutenant Carter's family his wife Samantha and sons Bryce and Nolan placed his new badge, and Chief Kinkade pinned Firefighter Knierim's badge on for her. Congratulations to all three of these well deserving individuals.
