The goal of this award is to recognize a Firefighter/Paramedic, who through continuous pursuit of the practice, skill, and trade of firefighting, continues to build on those solid foundations that have been laid out so well before, by our Brother Andy V. This award recognizes those who are pushing the craft forward and being strong mentors within our department. The Andy V. award recipient is nominated and voted on by only the Firefighter/Paramedics-a true nod from the Boots on the Ground.
Firefighter Saldana has grown into a fine leader and mentor, and is active on the VFFA Board of Directors, as well as many projects for the Vista Fire Department.
