Employee of the Month - April 2005

Congratulations To Ralph Jenkins

The Employee Recognition Committee has selected Ralph Jenkins as the April 2005 Employee of the Month for the City of Augusta. Mr. Jenkins was nominated by Deputy Chief Carl Scott. He is a Lieutenant with the Augusta Fire Department and has worked for the City for 24 years. Lt. Jenkins works out of Station #2 located at 1425 Walton Way.

On March 9, 2005, Engine Company #2 was dispatched to the MCG Hospital where an individual had broken out a window on the fifth floor and was dangerously standing on the ledge above the entrance to the hospital.

Lt. Jenkins was harnessed to a safety rope with Sgt. Herbert Smith and Firefighter Michael Hooker assisting; deployed to the ledge and negotiated the man within his reach and helped him back into the window. This was a dangerous situation which Lt. Jenkins handled with courage, patience and professionalism.

The Committee felt that based on Deputy Chief Scott’s recommendation and Mr. Jenkins’ dedicated and loyal service to the City of Augusta, he should be awarded Employee of the Month.

He was awarded the Employee of the Month for the month of April 2005 at the May 17, 2005 Commission Meeting.

Congratulations You Are Making A Difference In The City Of Augusta!
