Congratulations to Sterling Volunteer Rescue Squad Chief Harasek for being awarded the Northern Virginia EMS Council Regional Award for Outstanding Leadership. We are so fortunate to have her as a leader in the Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System.
The Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System (LC-CFRS) is honored to share that Sterling Volunteer Rescue Squad Chief Kathy Harasek was selected as the winner of the Northern Virginia EMS Council Regional Award for Outstanding EMS Leadership. This award recognizes an individual who has demonstrated the ability to organize, conduct, manage, problem solve and evaluate within their organization and, by exemplary leadership and administrative skills, improve the effectiveness, response, and delivery of EMS.
"Chief Harasek is very deserving of this award and exemplifies the essence of leadership at all levels within our System,” said Deputy Chief Todd Lupton. “She is a trusted voice in which many respect and seek her guidance on a regular basis. We are truly grateful for all of her contributions to Sterling Volunteer Rescue Squad and the entire LC-CFRS."
Chief Harasek’s EMS career began with the United States Park Police, where she was a police officer, paramedic, and pilot within their aviation division. She eventually became in charge of the aviation unit, where she was not only responsible for the unit’s law enforcement activities, but also its rescue and EMS activities and its surveillance and dignitary protection assignments. She joined the Sterling Volunteer Rescue Squad in 2005 and has held numerous positions with the organization, to include Crew Chief, Captain, Deputy Chief, and eventually Chief. In addition to being an ALS provider for many years, Chief Harasek has also been a preceptor and ALS mentor to many ALS providers in the system. In 2017, she became an Education Coordinator and part-time instructor at the LC-CFRS Training Center and assisted with teaching basic certification programs and annual required trainings. In 2019, she was elected as Chief of the Sterling Volunteer Rescue Squad and later selected as chair of the EMS Operations Committee as part of the LC-CFRS, where she serves on the system’s Executive Committee and regularly has both influence and an impact on the policies and direction of the Fire and Rescue System.
We are grateful for Chief Harasek’s continued leadership and knowledge of the Fire and Rescue System and her unwavering commitment to the Loudoun County community.
Congratulations to all of our graduates!
Congratulations to all of the graduates tonight!
