Congratulations to Alex Erickson, the recipient of the Mound Fire Department Firefighter of the Year for 2023. 

The recipient of the award is determined by a nomination and evaluation process, which involves the entire group of current Mound firefighters. The firefighters vote for staff members that have had an outstanding and consistent job performance. The result is one individual being selected as the department’s Firefighter of the Year. 

The award is based upon predetermined performance criteria including:

• Level of participation, involvement, and contribution to department

• Number of responses to emergency fire & rescue call-outs

• Attending and leading department training sessions

• Amount of time dedicated to public relations activities

• Support of our teamwork environment, and a “service to excellence” approach

Firefighter Alex Erickson has been a volunteer with the department since joining the ranks in March of 2017. Alex is a second-generation Mound firefighter as his father, Steve Erickson is a retired Mound Fire Chief. The city of Mound thanks firefighter Alex Erickson for his commitment and dedication to the department and our community
