ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- Anniston Army Depot's Fire and Emergency Services Division took five of the seven 2015 Fire and Emergency Services Awards for Army Materiel Command.

The Fire Prevention Office earned AMC's Fire Prevention Program of the Year honor.

Brian Bunn was named Civilian Firefighter of the Year.

Nadine Maxwell is AMC's Dispatcher of the Year.

Keith Purinton was awarded Fire Inspector of the Year.

And AMC's Emergency Medical Services Provider of the Year is Troy Seeger.

2015 is the first year in which awards were given for Dispatcher and EMS Provider of the Year.

"The award winners are just a few of the hard-working professionals within the Directorate of Emergency Services," said division chief Donald Heard. "It's a team effort. Everyone is here to make the Fire and Emergency Services Division what it is and meet the excellent standards we strive for."

The fire prevention program enforces National Fire Prevention Association and United Facilities criteria across the installation through building inspections, reviewing sprinkler and fire prevention installations, and conducting the depot's automated external defibrillator program.

"This fire prevention program sets the standard for a lot of programs throughout the Army," said Heard, adding that the Fire Prevention Office regularly takes calls from other installations which want to emulate the program here.

Bunn earned the AMC honors for his work with training and daily preventive maintenance on all assigned vehicles, equipment and facilities, ensuring the department is ready to respond at any time.

"His real-world experience and knowledge of regulations enhances the installation for readiness, reads the award justification as it details his experience with hazardous material and other certifications and proficiencies.

Maxwell, according to her award justification is a "very efficient dispatcher - dispatching emergency vehicles within one minute of receiving the alarm in accordance with National Fire Protection Association Standard 1221."

She has achieved Tele-communicator I/II and Hazardous Materials Awareness certification through the Department of Defense Firefighter Certification System, enabling her to respond well to emergency calls in a proper and professional manner.

Purinton is dedicated to instructing his coworkers with fire prevention and handling emergencies.

He instructs an evacuation coordinator class each month for employees assigned as evacuation coordinators, according to the award justification, and holds a fire extinguisher class for Ammunition Limited Area employees.

Purinton regularly appears on The Morning Show to discuss various fire prevention topics and writes articles on fire prevention for TRACKS.

"As a Nationally registered emergency medical technician-paramedic, Purinton is able to fill in or augment emergency medical calls when needed or assigned," said the justification.

Seeger, according to his award justification, has a love of learning and enjoys passing that knowledge off to his fellow firefighters and paramedics.

"Seeger's expertise as a nationally registered paramedic is second to none," said the justification. "The dynamic combination of real world experience and expertise deepens the installation's state of readiness."

He is responsible for maintaining the stocks of medication in the depot's three ambulances, a critical need at times when the Dear Occupational Health Clinic is closed.
