Congratulations to Lt. Jason Barger, recipient of the City of Coral Gables "Firefighter of the Month Award," for the month of October, 2016.

Body

Lt. Jason Barger has been selected October’s Firefighter of the Month for his outstanding display of individual initiative surpassing job requirements and expectations, specifically for his role in orchestrating the Coral Gables Fire Department’s involvement in the 2016 Tower & Tunnel 5K Run which benefits Burn Centers for fellow firefighters and catastrophically injured members, as well as wounded veterans.  Lt. Barger throughout his 12-year career with our department has been involved with every aspect of the job, including FEMA, Honor Guard, the Extrication Team, and ACLS Teams.  He is more than deserving of this award.
