EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH
FEBRUARY 2002
AL BROTONS, FIREFIGHTER/OPERATIONS SHIFT SUPERVISOR
Al Brotons began his career with Monroe County on December 12, 1989, as a
Paramedic for Emergency Medical Services. He has since completed the firefighter
minimum standards course and currently serves as Operations Shift Supervisor for the
Fire/EMS system. Also, he has been instrumental in many of our service expansions and
enhancements, including establishing a community training center program for CPR and
automated external defibrillators.
Al Brotons is being recognized as Employee of the Month for his tireless efforts
behind the scenes in the establishment of the TraumaStar program. It took approximately
two years from the beginning stages of equipping the helicopter, planning for the staffing
requirements and training of the medical staff, to February 27, 2002, when the
TraumaStar helicopter made its first flight with a trauma patient onboard.
Mr. Brotons' dedication to this project and his assistance in the coordination of
the many phases required in order to get this program "off the ground" merits this award
as Employee of the Month.
