Zack Burns - Outstanding Aldersonian (From Town of Alderson Face Book)

Young   people   with   dedication   and   commitment   are   getting   fewer   and   fewer.   Today’s   spotlight   on   the team was supposed to be someone else, but this one is fitting right now. Whether   it’s   pumping   water,   fixing   vehicles,   or   performing   routine   maintenance   this   young   man   gives way more than expected. Day or night, no matter the time, he is always there. Zack   Burns   has   a   talent   and   I’m   not   sure   exactly   which   one   is   his   best.   He   has   saved   every   department thousands   of   dollars   since   we   got   him   his   equipment   and   he   took   over   the   fleet   managers   spot.   He   went above   the   expectation   to   get   us   certified   to   do   our   fleet’s   inspections   for   yearly   state   inspections.   He   is one of a few select handful of people in West Virginia certified to work on emergency vehicles as well. When   he’s   not   pumping   water,   fixing   vehicles,   or   some   of   his   other   duties   he   loves   he   smell   of   hot asphalt. Not sure why, unless it’s to wear his boots with his shorts. Rick   and   Hazel   have   done   well   and   I   am   sure   are   proud.   One   of   the   most   respectable   and   courteous young   men   you   will   ever   come   across.   He   may   give   us   all   the   devil   as   he   fixes   what   we   tear   up,   but   he knows when you do what we do, it’s going to happen. I   am   proud   of   Zack   for   being   on   our   team,   but   more   importantly   for   the   man   he   is.   Thank-you   Zack   for everything! You make our team and town “Alderson Proud!” Travis
