ANAHEIM : Firefighters Receive Overachiever Award
The Anaheim Firefighters Assn. has received the 1990 Overachiever Award for work on behalf of local charities.
The Orange County Firemen’s Assn. recognized the union for providing volunteers and raising $28,700 for various charities, including $16,600 to benefit people with muscular dystrophy, $4,000 for the Anaheim Senior Center and $1,500 for children’s sports programs.
In addition, two firefighters received special recognition.
Capt. Timothy Butler, also a paramedic, was honored for improving safety for his fellow firefighters. Butler, an 11-year veteran of the force, has helped design rookie training programs, teaches ladder operations at the county Fire Academy and teaches CPR classes in the community.
Firefighter Robyn Halesworth, a fire inspector in charge of public education, was honored for her work on a hazardous-materials disclosure program. She also serves as chairwoman of the county Fire Education Program.
