Today, the Exchange Club of Downtown Spokane presented their "Firefighter of the Year” award
to Shawn Poole for Outstanding Service to the Citizens of our Community. The Exchange members are a bunch of warm-hearted individuals that love doing good for their community. It is the "Blue and Gold" Award. They had their blue and gold flag with a big E (for Exchange on it) on display. This is a part of the club's history in recognizing an outstanding fire/police officer in the community. They have invited Shawn to lunch when he returns.
Chief Bobby Williams was great and very well spoken and sat with Scott, Lisa, Stacia, Cheryl,
Jordyn and Teresa for lunch. Also representing the fire department were Dave Leavenworth, Rich Kness (who was with Shawn in the hospital) and Bob Hanna.
Chief Williams started off describing what happened that day and then Teresa accepted on Shawn’s behalf with a few words and thanks from the family!
