Prince George’s County Fire Chief Eugene A. Jones presented Letters of Commendation and Awards to several members at the Department’s Staff Meeting. The meeting was held at the Largo Government Center Department Headquarters on Tuesday, November 17, 2009.
Lieutenant Colonel Victor Stagnaro, Emergency Operations Commander, was presented with a Distinguished Service Award by Fire Chief Jones. This prestigious and rarely awarded recognition was accompanied by a commendation letter from Chief Jones that reads:
The Prince George’s County Fire/Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Department has faced many challenges in 2009. From fiscal challenges to large scale emergencies, the Emergency Operations Command has responded to all of them due in large part to your growth as a leader. As the award suggests, you have distinguished yourself as a leader. You have implemented a new patient care reporting system, a billing system, commanded one of the largest rescues in the history of the Department and operated with a reduced complement and budget.
Your actions and efforts as the Emergency Operations Commander have been remarkable. I have seen your growth as a leader and that growth has enabled your command to maintain and, in some areas of the County, enhance the quality of service that the Fire/EMS Department delivers to the public. This Distinguished Service Award is presented in recognition of the meritorious actions you have taken to keep the Emergency Operations Command operating at peak efficiency despite the resource challenges you and your command have faced.
I appreciate all the hard work and dedication you have exhibited. You are growing into the leader I always believed you had the capacity for. Thank you for your distinguished service.
Major Rudolph “Rudy” Thomas was selected as the Manger of the Month of October 2009 for his work as the Special Events Commander. Chief Jones commented, “Major Thomas’ continued display of dedication to service, professionalism and an espirt de corps in ensuring the safety and security for 90,000 Redskins fans have earned him the designation as the Manger of the Month.
