By: Orange County Fire & EMS

On Thursday, April 27, 2023, Orange County Fire & EMS hosted their first awards banquet at The Pavilion on Lakeland Farm honoring past and present firefighters and EMT ’ s and their families. The night started with honoring two first responders: Donnie Lettner and Dottie Di Liddo. Lettner served Orange County as a firefighter/EMT, dispatcher, engine operator, and assisted with hazardous material and radiological response. Di Liddo served the County as a firefighter/paramedic, field provider, and field training officer. Awards were then awarded to current staff to highlight the impact they have made on Orange County citizens. “ What seems routine and mundane at times can have a significant impact on our citizen ’ s lives, ” Mike Throckmorton, assistant fire chief and fire marshal said.

Awards were given on a nomination basis by peers and supervisors.
