The Murphysboro Fire Department was presented on Aug. 24 with the Fire Department of the Year Award by the Illinois Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (IAMIC).
Presentation was made during IAMIC’s 128th annual convention in East Peoria, IL. Fire Chief Kevin Reeves, firefighters Bobbie Alexander and Steve Swafford along with Murphysboro Mayor Ron Williams were present to receive the award on behalf of the department.
Murphysboro Fire Department was nominated by Jason Svanda from Randolph Mutual Insurance Company in Steeleville, IL, for their dedication and service. Jason stated, “On May 8th, 2009 our community suffered a terrible storm and these individuals were there to help in a great time of need. They exemplified heroic characteristics with the tough situations that they had to face. Our community was in shambles and the Department stepped up and helped the community through this terrible time of need. I cannot thank these individuals enough and commend them for the hard work and effort they put forth to revitalize and renew our community.”
As active as they are brave and committed, Murphysboro Fire Department is a model for the many fire departments in our state. The dedication and determination that this department has diligently put toward the betterment and safety of their community earns them badges of honor with every service call and it is with great honor that the Illinois Association of Mutual Insurance Companies recognized the Murphysboro Fire Department with this award.
Fire departments from throughout the state are eligible to be nominated for the award with one being chosen annually. IAMIC established the award because of the importance of fire departments in preserving life and property in their local communities. This prestigious award recognizes them for going above and beyond the normal call of duty.
The Illinois Association of Mutual Insurance Companies is a trade association comprised of farm mutual insurance companies. Mutual insurance, like the farming industry, has been a part of the Illinois landscape for well over a century. IAMIC provides member companies with the educational opportunities, professional development, legislative support, and industry recognition.
