Knight Wins Firefighter Award

EFD

A 16-year veteran of the Evansville Fire Department has been named Firefighter of the Year. 

The Green River Kiwanis Club presented the annual award to Tony Knight, who serves as a captain on Engine 1.

Knight received a wall plague from Kiwanis, a $100 Check from “On the Spot” Utility Resources, an evening out from Evansville Firefighters Credit Union, and a Firefighter of the Year ring from Local 357.

A news release from the EFD says Green River Kiwanis will also erect a billboard with his picture — courtesy of Lamar Advertising -- proclaiming his accomplishment.

Captain Knight was one of eight nominees for this year’s award.

He was its 38th recipient.
