23 Fire Recruits Graduate
By Bette and Ed Sharpe -
Glendale Daily Planet
Twenty-three fire recruits graduated from the
Glendale Regional Public Safety Training Center on Saturday, November 1,
2014. The Class 14-2 was the summer class and they called themselves the
Heat Seekers. Completing the thirteen week program over the summer is
something to boast about on its own. Fire Departments from Daisy Mountain,
Glendale, and Surprise will be adding new firefighters. Saturday morning
was a day of hugs and high fives. For the new grads, it will be time to go
to work on Monday. Firefighting is a family tradition, as several of the
fire recruits had their badges pinned on their uniforms by their fathers.
Five new firefighters, Garrett Attig, Brain
Carbajal, Reid Engel, Nick Lietz, and James Sanchez will be with the Daisy
Mountain Fire Department.
Glendale’s new firefighters are Vincent
Biancamano, Taylor Cantu, Jacob Giuntoli, Connor Healy, Makayla Higgins,
Nathaniel Holmeyer, Andrew Huerta, Kyle Knight, Quinn Koehler, Matthew O’Brien,
Mitchell Schuitema, Sean Sine, Brain Stewart, Ian Winterstein, and Kyle
Zieder.
The City of Surprise has three new
firefighters, Donovan Maturan, Edward Swartz and Robert Wieser.
Congratulations to all of you!

Glendale Firefighter, Connor Healy received
the 2014 Valentine Award. Connor’s father, Brent Healy is a Glendale
firefighter.
Battalion Chief Eric Keppler tells us the following regarding the award.“The Valentine Award is named after John Valentine, a Peoria (AZ) Firefighter who passed away who passed away during the prime of his career from a brain tumor leaving behind a wife and daughter. The recruits vote for a member of their recruit class who best exemplifies the traits Mr. Valentine possessed: a hard-worker with integrity, honesty, honor and respect for others.”
