Flanked by friends and family, Smith humbly received his award at a well attended luncheon hosted in his honor by the
Los Angeles Firefighters Association, at the Kyoto Grand Hotel and Gardens. The coveted award takes into account Smith's long-term accomplishments and is awarded for the previous calendar year.
A 31-year veteran of the LAFD, Smith is assigned to Fire Station 69 in Pacific Palisades, where he operates an aerial ladder truck. He was resoundingly selected for demonstrated leadership, community volunteerism and his unparalleled compassion for those he proudly serves.
