Fire Chief Lohr
is extremely proud to announce the graduation of Lieutenant (Lt) Andrew Gettig,
assigned to the Fire Investigation and Explosives section of the MCFRS, from
the Montgomery County Police Training Academy, Session 60 yesterday.
Lt. Gettig was
selected several months ago to fill a vacancy in the Fire Investigation and
Explosives section. One key requirement
to fill this role is certification as a law enforcement officer in Montgomery
County. To obtain that certification Lt.
Gettig was placed in the intensive, 27-week Police Training Academy program for all new law enforcement recruits that is designed to
challenge the recruit physically, academically, and mentally.
If that was not
enough, Lt. Gettig went a step further and distinguished himself as he was
selected by Montgomery County Police Academy Instructors to receive the
prominent Captain James E. Daly Award. The
award, created in memory of Captain
James E. Daly who was tragically killed in the line of duty in 1972, is
presented to the recruit who best exemplifies the ideals of guidance,
knowledge, courage, skill, and dedication to public service.
Lt. Gettig was
presented this award by Mrs. Fran Daly, Captain Daly's widow, in a very moving
ceremony.
Congratulations on
a job well done Andy!
