Chief Greg Janik, Saugatuck Township Fire District, is this year's President award recipient. "Chief Janik keeps me in the loop on many legislative changes impacting his agency as well as the fire service throughout the state, has been a model for implementing change in the fire service, serves on many committees that support our mission, and most importantly, has been there to provide the level headed guidance when I’ve needed it most. He has always been a phone call away! Your respect, fire service charm, and humbleness have never gone unnoticed and I’ve appreciated the candor conversations that we’ve been able to have.
Without question, you opened up your community and hosted us as if we were family. Chief Janik, you are a class act and I cannot thank you enough for the guidance, leadership, and most importantly your friendship."
