We are delighted to announce Caleb Taylor as our Member of the Month.

Caleb’s journey with Polk County Fire began in 2010 as a dedicated volunteer firefighter. He further contributed to our organization by serving on the Board as Treasurer. As a veteran, Caleb has consistently shown commitment and service throughout his time with us.

In 2023, he joined our team as a part-time Wildland Firefighter through the OSFM grant. Even after the grant concluded, Caleb continued to support the District by working part-time to cover shifts during our hiring process. His dedication led to his full-time hire as a FF/EMT career employee in December 2023. Currently, Caleb is balancing his paramedic program with his family life and career.

Caleb is married and a proud parent to three children: McKinsley, Melia, and Jordin.

His nomination by his peers highlights his exceptional support, unwavering dedication to the District, and his genuine care for the individuals participating in this year's Fire Academy.

Please join us in extending our warmest congratulations to Caleb on this well-deserved recognition.
