Rodney (Scott) Sorenson - 2013

Awarded this 9th day of March, 2013

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 firefighter who unselfishly gives of her/his time and talents to the community.

The Campbell County Fire Department proudly bestows on Scott Sorenson its 2013 Walk of Fame award.  Scott has contributed more than 23 years of meritorious service to his Campbell County friends and neighbors as a volunteer firefighter/officer.  In that time he has involved himself in nearly every committee, office, rank, and function possible within the fire department.

In 1987, Scott Sorenson joined the Campbell County Fire Department as a Volunteer Firefighter.  In the 23 years that followed, he rose through the ranks serving as the Captain of Station Three, and then the Battalion Chief of Battalion One.  In addition to a number of officer certifications, he became one of CCFD’s first Hazmat Technicians.  Scott mentored the firefighters who served with him, and through his mentorship many of them later became officers. Perhaps Scott’s greatest contribution, however, was in forging a solid working partnership between the fire department and the City of Gillette where he has been a long-time employee.

Rodney (Scott) Sorenson is hereby awarded the Campbell County Fire Department Walk of Fame award in recognition of his unwavering support and 23 years of service.  Scott 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.
