American Legion Post 40 honored a firefighter from the Central Arizona Fire & Medical Authority and a police officer from the Chino Valley Police Department for the first time ever on Veterans Day over the weekend. “We should have done it a long time ago,” said Post Commander Bob Ingram. “These guys, to me, are no different than any veteran. They put their life on the line every day.” Honored on Saturday, Nov. 11 was Captain Brian Burch (CAFMA) and Detective Amy Chamberlin (CVPD). Chamberlin was not present and Mayor Darryl Croft accepted the plaque on her behalf. They were nominated by their respective chiefs. A captain for five years, Burch has organized the Firefighting 101 class for four years.
