Last night at the annual Lemberg Agri-Dinner, LFD was honoured to recognize 6 of their members!
These men were presented with the Fire Services Exemplary Service Medals. These medals are awarded by the Crown to honour members of a recognized Canadian fire service who have completed 20 years of service, with at least 10 of those years involving duties with potential risk. Exemplary service is defined by good conduct, dedication, and efficiency—qualities each of these individuals have demonstrated throughout their careers.
Brent Kohlert - 26 years
Dan Scheier - 32 years

This is 214 years of combined service to the Lemberg Fire Department!
Along with the medals, Dennis Dixon and James Jarocki were presented with commemorative fire axes for their years of service being a dedicated Fire Chief & Deputy Fire Chief!
