Rockport firefighter named firefighter of the month

Rockport firefighter Dominic Alexander was named the March volunteer firefighter of the month by 1-800BoardUp. Alexander displays exceptional work ethic and call response, as well as leadership among the other firefighters. Fire Chief Damon Dyer said Alexander “is the go-to mentor among the younger firefighters, and he unselfishly donates his time to the team by providing training and equipment maintenance.” On top of his commitment to firefighting, Alexander is also a U.S. war veteran serving three tours of duty where he has received multiple awards and recommendations for his service to the community and our country. He has currently completed 30 years of service with the fire department, and it is his positive attitude that has created what the chief says is the foundation of what their department is today.
