Fire Chief Rick Talbert
Employee of the Month for September, 2004

Please accept our congratulations as being selected as the Fire and Emergency Services Employee of the Month for September 2004. In nominating you for this recognition, your staff members cited your commitment to the safeguarding of our city and to the statewide emergency management process throughout the state of Florida.

Fire Chief Rick Talbert

Locally, you led Titusville's emergency responses for Hurricanes Charley, Frances and Jeanne, providing guidance and leadership when our community was impacted. Once you were assured Titusville's recovery was fully in progress, you accepted additional deployment assignments from the State's EOC leadership to assist with the devastation on the west coast of Florida from Hurricane Charley and again to assist with the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan in our state's panhandle region.

During the month and a half that hurricanes ravaged our state, your workday averaged 12-16 hours, day after day, until the crisis points had passed. We applaud your dedication and loyalty to the citizens of our city and to our state. Thank you.
