Dave Mansur - 2010

Awarded this 6th day of February, 2010

This honor is extended as the department's highest achievement award for contributions to the development of the fire service in Campbell County. The Walk of Fame exemplifies the attributes of a volunteer who unselfishly gives of her/his time and talents to the community.

The Campbell County Fire Department is honored to name Dave Mansur its 2010 Walk of Fame award recipient. Dave began his membership in the CCFD family in 1982 as a 22-year-old volunteer firefighter. Two years later he was hired as a career firefighter, and in the 26 years that followed, he involved himself in nearly every committee, office, rank, and function within the fire department.

Dave Mansur’s list of accomplishments is impressive and extensive. He pioneered and was heavily involved in several programs at CCFD including the Public Education Program, the Fire Inspections Department, and Fire Investigations Services. In addition, he exhibited unfailing commitment to the fire department and the community as a Firefighter, Captain, Investigator, and Fire Marshal. Dave Mansur continually worked with other entities and the general public throughout his career at CCFD; unfailingly he carried out his tasks efficiently with a positive attitude and a smile.

Dave’s defining moment occurred one early morning in December, 1993 when he responded to an apartment fire at 1001 Stanley Avenue. Arriving first on-scene as the on-duty Fire Investigator, he learned that a victim was trapped amid the flame-engulfed second floor. Using his training and experience, Dave bravely entered the structure and located and rescued a 13-year-old victim, Melissa Cawley. Although seriously burned, Melissa eventually recovered fully thanks to Dave’s courageous act.

Dave Mansur is hereby awarded the Campbell County Fire Department Walk of Fame award in recognition of his unwavering support and 28 years of service. Dave exemplifies the true spirit of a volunteer firefighter, team player, friend and dedicated community servant. His actions serve as an example to fellow firefighters keeping with the highest traditions of the Campbell County Fire Department.
