=====Leadership Award Presented=====
Cesar Garcia, a paid-on-call firefighter for South Haven Area Emergency Services, was presented the department's 2015 Leadership Award. Garcia has been a member of the department for 10 years. "This year's leadership award goes to an individual who has demonstrated the qualities of a leader without holding any rank within the department," noted Chief Ron Wise. "Cesar has led by example, he is always willing to participate, taking classes on his own time. He has shown everyone that training is important no matter how much time you have on the department." Wise lauded Garcia's true passion to serve his community. "He is a very humble public servant who does not need validation to know that what he is doing is important." Garcia is pictured with Chief Ron Wise (left) and Deputy Chief Tony Marsala.
