Our Firefighter of the Year for
2009, Jon Politis, has been in and around the halls of Verdoy
for almost 30 years. He has enormous accomplishments in his profession,
in raising a wonderful family, finding time to feed his avocations, and
contributing to the work of the Verdoy Fire Department.
He has a global view of the fire service, having served multiple
departments both paid and volunteer, yet never forgets the local impact
of the service he provides.
Jon is best known in Colonie as a
paramedic par excellence and an innovative manager of a great emergency
medical service, and out West as a pretty good skier. Here, at Verdoy,
our Firefighter of the Year for 2009 is known as our friend and our
brother.
