Aaron Ambroziak: CPFTA Class of 2012 : Summer Internship

I had the opportunity to work with one of your candidates names Aaron Ambroziak, during the summer internship program. I would like you to know what a pleasure this young man was to work with. He was always on time, prompt and eagar to learn everything that was going on. He came with a strong knowledge of firefighting due to having multiple family members who are firefighters and excellent role models for this young man. Aaron was always excited and asked multiple questions. Aaron volunteered to stay beyond the scheduled hours in order to gain first hand experience with the Airport Rescue Fire Fighting (ARFF) equipment, functions and operations.

Aaron displayed great leadership qualities. I have no doubt that Aaron will continue in the tradition of becoming the next generation of firefighters that will make a significant impact in the world. He already has his college plans in motion and will let nothing stop him. The Chicago Fire Department can look to hire this young man in the next five years. When the Chicago Fire Department does, please direct Aaron back to District Three Headquarters. It would be a pleasure and an honor to have Aaron as one of our member.
