Cottonwood Fire Department Engineer Jeremy Doerksen retired on May 30.
“Engineer Doerksen’s journey began in 1999 as a volunteer with CFD, followed by his hiring with Camp Verde Fire District in 2002, and ultimately joining CFD in 2009,” CFD announced on social media. “Over the years, he has dedicated himself to serving our community with an unwavering commitment to helping others.”
Doerksen spent his last day on duty alongside his father, retired chief Jerry Doerksen, and his nephew, firefighter Sterling Doerksen, at the station.
“As you begin this next chapter, we wish you a retirement filled with good health, adventure, laughter, and countless opportunities to enjoy time with family and friends,” CFD wrote. “May the years ahead bring you the same fulfillment and joy that you have brought to so many throughout your career. Congratulations on your retirement and thank you for a job well done.”
CFD subsequently announced on Monday June 1, that Paul Vocca was promoted to engineer.
“Paul has demonstrated a strong commitment to serving our community, supporting his fellow firefighters, and continually developing his skills throughout his career. His hard work, dedication, and professionalism have earned him this well deserved promotion,” CFD posted to social media.
