“We live in a fast-paced world
with people who are often drawn
in multiple directions at once
and don’t have a lot of free time
to themselves. But Firefighter
Calderwood seems to thrive
on service to others,” Chief
Berkenbush said.
Other examples cited in the
award include:
• Calderwood built a ramp
for another patient who
required the use of a
wheelchair. He donated
his time and all of the
materials free of charge.
• Calderwood, a military
veteran, routinely goes
out of his way to find out
if patients served in the
military, and he always
thanks them for their
service
• Calderwood always carries
pet treats while on duty,
both at the station and
on calls. He has ensured
that the fire station is “pet
friendly” and encourages
residents to bring their dogs
to visit the firefighters
Firefighter/EMT Calderwood
also keeps up-to-date on the
latest training and trends in the
ever-changing field of EMS.
