Leadership Citation for Motivation and Vision:
Tony’s contribution to wildland firefighter development
through training and mentoring is commendable. Over the years, he has provided
exemplary leadership as a mentor and training specialist to countless
firefighters and incident management teams. As Chief of the Alaska Fire
Service’s Branch of Fire Training, Tony ensured students had the necessary
facilities and training needed to grow in their careers as firefighters,
managers, and future leaders within and outside the wildland fire service. Of
special recognition are his efforts to provide a field version of the S-420
