The Farmersville Fire De­partment, which comprises a paid staff of two and a host of volunteers, has bestowed its an­nual awards for jobs well done to three of those volunteers.

The Firefighter of the Year is Justin Bates; the First Re­sponder of the Year is Nathan Hawkins; and the Rookie of the Year is Bowen McClure. All three were honored by their fel­low volunteers who decided that they stood out as the best among them.

In addition, the Farmersville Police Department has an­nounced its Police Officer of the Year. It is Officer Maggie Olvera, who was selected by the police department’s supervisory staff, according to Police Chief Mike Sullivan.
