Congrats to Jacob Lear, Lodi Fire Fighter of the Year!
Congratulations to Jacob Lear for being selected as the 2022 Firefighter of the Year. Jacob participated in the 21-1 Stockton Regional Recruit Fire Academy and was an integral part of the instruction for our newest recruit firefighters. Jacob leads with a positive attitude and is always willing to participate in whatever the need is in our Department and within this community.
This commitment to service was evident this past year after a tragic pediatric drowning occurred at Lodi Lake. Jacob is a problem solver. Jacob saw the need to provide a higher level of protection for our citizens who visit Lodi Lake. With the support of the Local and Fire Administration, Jacob reached out to State Agencies and arranged for the donation of life jackets and kiosk stands. He partnered with Lodi Parks and Recreation and Headwaters Kayak at Lodi Lake to deploy his first loaner-life jacket stand and created the LFD loaner life-jacket program. This program will save lives! This year Jacob added two additional stands at the Lake. They are located at the boat ramp and the entrance to the nature trail.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Lodi Electric will be working over the next few months to remove, replace and add public electric vehicles (EV) charging stations throughout the City. As a result, City public EV charging stations may be unavailable until such time as new stations are installed and activated. Lodi Electric apologizes for the inconvenience but hopes to have the project completed this summer. So far, 2 stations have been replaced are are available for use free of charge at Hutchins Street Square and the City's Finance Department parking lot.
