Fleet Services Department employee Tommy Miller has been named STARS award recipient for November 2018.
On Oct. 29, Miller assisted Murfreesboro Fire Rescue units responding to a fire at the City Solid Waste Department, 4765 Florence Road. When District 7, Engine 5 and Ladder 9 arrived on the scene, a Mulcher was approximately 50 percent engulfed. Miller quickly provided City firefighters with knowledge of the Mulcher’s hydraulic lines and mulch materials so hydraulic fluids could be extinguished with foam and wood chips put out from the aerial apparatus.
Miller is another example of representing the City in a positive light, exhibiting the core values and creating a better quality of life for citizens.
Fleet Department Director Jack Hyatt joined Mayor McFarland in presenting the STARS award to Miller.
“I am proud of the way Tommy handled the tub grinder fire. He has always been willing to go the extra mile while fulfilling his duties for the Fleet Services Department,” said Fleet Services Department Director Jack Hyatt.
Miller has served the City and the Fleet Department as a mechanic since May 2002 when he was first hired as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic.
The Mulcher was a total loss. The cause of the fire was accidental.
Congratulations to Tommy Miller for being named recipient of the STARS Award for Outstanding Performance.
