Fire Department to Honor Four Firefighters for One Year of Service

The Cedar Rapids Fire Department will be honoring four firefighters for completing one year of service.  There will be a ceremony honoring Gregory Brenneman, Cory Dillon, Jonathan Lundquist, and Matthew Rammelsberg on Friday, August 26th at 1:00 p.m. at the Central Fire Station, 713 1st Avenue SE, in the City Emergency Operations Center. 

Mayor Ron Corbett will administer the Firefighter Oath of Office.  City Manager Jeff Pomeranz and Fire Chief Mark English, as well as family and friends of the firefighters, will be presenting firefighter badges, service/name pins, and yellow fire helmets to the four firefighters as part of the pinning ceremony.

The ceremony will include the Cedar Rapids Fire Department Honor Guard, Fire Chaplains, and remarks by Shift Fire Captains who provided training during the rookie firefighters’ first year of employment. 

The first year in the fire service is considered a probationary period and the firefighters must successfully complete a training academy, as well as skills, examinations and on-the-job training

throughout the year.  The four probationary firefighters were hired on August 24, 2015. 

Members of the media and the general public are invited to attend.
