BLOOMINGTON - MAY 25, 2022 - The Bloomington Fire Department (BFD) recognized 55 firefighters for exceptional service to the community during 2021. The annual event is routinely conducted on the anniversary date of BFD becoming a professional fire department on February 17, 1900. This year, however, the event was delayed due to COVID. The presentation occurred at 4 p.m. on May 20, 2022, at the Switchyard Park Pavilion. “These past two years have sometimes left our community wondering what could happen next. Amidst this uncertainty, we have been consistently able to count on the Bloomington Fire Department, an organization of dedicated employees who bring a high level of professionalism and selfless dedication to their work,” said Mayor John Hamilton. “Public safety is at the heart of a community and both a responsibility and a priority of government. We thank all the members of the Bloomington Fire Department and highlight the 55 honored for exceptional service in 2021.” “Our department faced significant challenges in 2021; in addition to continuing efforts relating to the global pandemic we also mitigated a major flood event, and handled an unprecedented increase in our annual call volume,” said Fire Chief Jason Moore. “Despite challenges, our firefighters continue to showcase their commitment to the community and dedication to helping others. They are an exceptional resource to a community BFD is honored to serve. As both the Fire Chief and a member of the Bloomington community, I am proud of our firefighters, especially those recognized at this year’s awards ceremony.” The presentation showcases BFD firefighters recognized for the following awards:
