No One is More Dedicated than This Richfield Springs Firefighter

When it comes to dedication, there's no one who better fits that description than this first responder.

Meet Cole Bobnick

A proud member since high school, Cole is a Lieutenant for the Richfield Springs Fire Department. Since joining, he's become an exterior firefighter and an EMT. Something that he loves the most about the job.

After graduating high school, Cole went to college to become a nurse because of how much he loves to help people. This past year, all while going to college, he has also been taking the AEMT class. When he's not busy taking classes, you can bet Cole is at the firehouse either washing the ambulance, restocking it or doing whatever needs to be done.

He's so dedicated he brings a cot to the firehouse sets it up in our back room and will sleep there for days so he doesn't miss a call.  You can always count on Cole when needed.

Thank you for your endless dedication and commitment to serving others Cole. Your hard work hasn't gone unnoticed and we can't thank you enough for being a leader in your community.
