Title
Congratulations to Firefighter Joe Fantigrassi, recipient of the City of Coral Gables "Firefighter of the Month Award," for the month of June 2015.
Body
Firefighter Joe Fantigrassi has been selected June's Firefighter of the Month for his outstanding display of individual initiative surpassing job requirements and expectations, specifically by his craftsmanship. The City recently celebrated "Take Your Child to Work Day" and the Fire Department participated in the day's activities. By all accounts, the event was a huge success. The Fire Department's main attraction was a live fire prop for the children to have an opportunity to use a fire hose and fight an actual fire. Firefighter Fantigrassi was the architect behind the construction of the fire prop and was one of the reasons behind the event's success.
Aside from being very handy with tools, Firefighter Fantigrassi is also quite an amazing cook. Recently, he volunteered to provide lunch for the City Manager's very first Morale Committee meeting, and for the past several years offered his culinary skills at our Annual picnic.
Firefighter Fantigrassi cares about his coworkers and cares about the community he serves. This is evident through his unselfishness and willingness to volunteer and participate for department and City events.
