The Lebanon Fire District honored its own Friday night at the department's annual awards banquet at the Boulder Falls Event Center in Lebanon. The awards were given for rookie of the year, officer of the year, and volunteer of the year, among others. More than 130 people attended the event. The program began with a performance by the Willamette Valley Public Safety Pipe Band, a first for this event. Also of note, Chief Gordon Sletmoe handed out Unit Citations to several members for their role in saving the life of a person at an emergency fire call. Those members were Jacob Mellander, Daniel Spangler, Candace McHuron, Ken Foster, and Bryce MacLennan.
