I had the chance to capture some great moments at the Carol Stream Fire Department Awards and Swearing-In Ceremony on Friday, May 22nd, 2015. It was an inspiring event filled with pride, tradition, and celebration.
Among the highlights of the evening was the recognition of retired firefighter Leo Penkala, who received a Unit Performance Award for his outstanding skills and dedication during emergency responses. It was a fitting tribute to his years of service.
Five new candidate firefighters and paramedics were officially sworn in: Michael Kucia, Daniel Patt, Tyler Poffenbarger, Daniel Nelson, and Adam Mullendore. Their journey into the fire service has just begun, and it’s exciting to see their commitment to serving the community.
Three firefighters were promoted to the rank of lieutenant: Chad Grandgeorge, Daniel Stelter, and James Jones. And Lieutenant Robert Schulz took another step forward by being promoted to Battalion Chief — a significant milestone in his career.
It was truly heartwarming to see the families of these firefighters celebrating their achievements. The pride on their faces was evident, and it made the event even more meaningful.
Congratulations to all the honorees, and thank you to everyone involved in making this ceremony such a memorable occasion.
John
