There are few firefighters at age 23 who come into City Fire with a resume to match Ryan Hinz. He's been a volunteer in Alexander since he was 16. He twice won Firefighter of the Year. He rose to the rank of EMS captain and won awards for his EMS work. He also won a chief's award. Fire Chief Steve Napolitano said Hinz scored high on his civil service exam and his agility test and excelled at the fire academy. Perhaps this isn't a surprise. He's the son of career firefighter Marty Hinz, currently a captain with City Fire, and the grandson of a firefighter who also served for several years as Genesee County's emergency coordinator. Marty Hinz said he almost sees Ryan through his father's eyes.
