Ryan Murray moved to Dauphin from Brandon in July of 2020 and it didn't take him long to start serving and protecting the community. Just a month later in August, Murray approached Fire Chief Cam Abrey and expressed his interest in joining the Dauphin Fire Department.
Murray went out for a Wednesday evening practice and the rest is history. Murray says working with the department is a great opportunity to do good in the community.
“It’s a great group of guys and gals, it’s like a big family,” said Murray. “Everyone sacrifices a lot of family time to give back to the community.”
Now less than two years since he joined the DFD, Murray has won a prestigious award as Fire Chief Cam Abrey announced late last week that Ryan is the Firefighter of the Year. He was presented with his award at the department's Appreciation Night.
“I’m very honoured and humbled,” said Murray. “Every member on this team is deserving of this award. I’m speechless, to be honest.”
Ryan went on to say that when they are needed, the Dauphin Fire Department is here to serve and protect.
