Plant City Fire Rescue announced firefighter paramedic Dustin Hill as its 2013 Firefighter of the Year.
His selection was founded not on one single act but rather on several facets of his career. Most recently, Hill was selected as one of the department’s Emergency Response Team members. Hill also serves as a field training officer and is responsible for teaching new personnel the skill sets required to per-form as paramedics.
In addition to his duties with Plant City Fire Rescue, Hill also serves as a reservist in the U.S. Army and earned a Bronze Star while deployed in Afghanistan.
“In my short tenure with the department, (Hill) has most definitely left a positive impression,” says Fire Chief Dan Azzariti. “The great pride he takes in his career, and our department really shines through in every aspect of his performance.”
