Large Number of Fire Fighter/Medic Lieutenant Promotions Announced

Prince George's County Fire Chief Marc S. Bashoor announced a large number of promotions today.  He personally contacted each and every person receiving a promotion to congratulate them.  Afterward speaking with the soon-to-be Fire Fighter/Medic Lieutenants he notified the rest of the Fire/EMS Department with this Email.

All:

It is with great pleasure that I announce the following Firefighter/Paramedic (or Paramedic) Lieutenant promotions.  There will be three successive pay period effective dates as indicated below.  

As we work through the current budget challenges, it is gratifying to see the commitment to keeping our current compliment of officers.  This is the largest block of any single rank promotions in recent memory, certainly the largest during the Baker Administration.

I had the distinct honor of meeting and/or speaking with each of these folks over the past few days.  As I spoke with each of them and again as I type this message, I have been reminded that great "mission" and "vision" statements are essentially irrelevant without great people to execute that great mission and vision.

Congratulations to everyone - keep up the great work!
