Yesterday, members from Drexel Heights and Pascua Pueblo Fire had the amazing opportunity to participate in the Tucson Estates Memorial Day Parade. It was an incredible way to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
Thank you to Tucson Estates for allowing us to be part of such a meaningful event.
Congratulations to Communications Specialist Samantha Thornbloom!
Last week, Samantha successfully graduated from the Pima Community College EMT Program. She is now, State and Nationally Certified and received Valedictorian honors.
Having this level of medical training and knowledge is an invaluable asset for our telecommunicators and the communities we serve.
Great job, Samantha!
We are proud of you!
Today is dedicated to honoring the brave men and women who gave their lives while serving in the U.S. military. It's a time to pause, reflect, and remember the ultimate sacrifice made for our freedom.
To all who have served and continue to serve, thank you.
