BACKGROUND: Terry Eaton joined the Kalispell Fire Department on July 20, 1987. He
has been promoted to Lieutenant, filling the position vacated by the promotion of John Sturzen.
Terry, as most of you know, recently represented the Kalispell Fire Department in a goodwill
visit to the devastated Fire Department of New York. He has given numerous presentations on
his visit throughout the Valley. Terry is also is our EMS supplies purchaser, a critical role for us
and the community, as these supplies provide for all the responses of our four Advanced Life
Support ambulances.
RECOMMENDATIONS: I am recommending that the Council recognize Lieutenant Terry
Eaton, and congratulate him on his successful promotion.
