ANSONIA - Amidst family, friends and coworkers, two Ansonia first responders received awards recently from the Rotary Club of Ansonia.
Police Officer Nathan Anderson and Eagle Hose, Hook and Ladder Company Lt. Robert Mut accepted their honors at Molto Bene Italian Kitchen Restaurant at a dinner in their honor.
Both were selected by their supervisors and peers, and were applauded for their contributions to the community.
Christopher Hope of Ansonia Medical Rescue Services was unable to attend and will receive his award during a Rotary Club weekly meeting at The Original Antonio’s Restaurant.
Nominees were chosen by each respective department based on specific criteria including initiative, appearance, attitude and dependability, job knowledge and job performance.
Anderson has been a police officer for 23 years, and demonstrates professionalism and competence, always meeting high standards, according to Chief Kevin Hale.
His calm, positive demeanor during times of high stress has earned the respect and praise of his fellow officers as well as his supervisors.
This is Anderson’s second award – a first in the Department.
First Lt. Robert Mut has been an active and dedicated member of the Ansonia Fire Department since 1987.
He originally joined the Eagle Hose H&L Company 6; transferred for a short while to the Hilltop Hose Company 5 and then returned to the Eagles.
His current rank of First Lieutenant was earned in February 2013. He mentors members of the fire department and insures Company 6 is properly trained and prepared, and the equipment is in excellent condition. Bob is a certified Hazardous Material Technician, and is employed by Clean Harbors.
Ansonia Rotary Club President Bill Zinky and emcee Sue Reilly congratulated the awardees for their meritorious service. The mayor’s office presented each with a proclamation.
The Ansonia Rotary Club meets at noon Tuesdays at The Original Antonio’s Restaurant. Guests are welcomed.
