City ManagerCity of Porterville January 2015 Employee of the Month Eric Orong Fire Department
On November 29, 2014, Eric was driving with his family to Visalia to look for a Christmas tree. Approaching Lindsay, they noticed a large column of smoke and went to investigate. They found a commercial building on fire in the downtown area of Lindsay with a single police officer operating the fire engine and hose. With Stephanie’s permission, Eric went into firefighter mode, helping relocate the fire engine to prevent it catching on fire and then directing the high flow, master stream nozzle to the flames. Only after the engine was secure and additional help arrived did Eric rejoin his family to continue on their way. His actions helped prevent damage to a City of Lindsay fire engine and to prevent the fire from spreading to adjacent buildings. |
