Four individuals were recognized for exemplary service to Lee County by Lee County Fire and EMS Chief David Forrester at the Lee County Board of Commission meeting on Tuesday.
“Every year in public safety, the Exchange Club picks a firefighter and paramedic of the year in all of the surrounding counties,” Forrester said.
Selected for honors by their peers were Jonathan Sangster, who was awarded Firefighter of the Year, and Wendy O’Lear, who was chosen as Paramedic of the Year.
“I’ll tell you a little but about Jonathan,” Forrester said. “I’ve known him all his life. I got involved with him in the fire service. At an early age, Jonathan came to work for us in Lee County.”
