LT. MICHAEL LOZOWY

DEPT. OF PUBLIC SAFETY

FIRE DEPARTMENT

JULY, 2005


MICHAEL LOZOWY

Michael with Mayor Plusquellic

MICHAEL LOZOWY became an Akron fire fighter in September, 1978. Throughout his career he has been a competent and conscientious employee and has demonstrated his commitment to serve the citizens of Akron through his performance as a fire fighter, paramedic and company officer upon his promotion to Fire Lieutenant in April, 1997.

LT. LOZOWY has spent the last five years in the EMS Bureau where he is the Akron Fire Department EMS training officer. MIKE is to some extent involved in all A.F.D. training of a medical nature as the coordinator, lead instructor or liaison and truly excels in these rolls due to his genuine interest in providing the best possible training to those who serve the public. It is not unusual to find him in the office after hours or on his day off attending to details and making final preparations for an upcoming class.

MIKE serves as coordinator and liaison for the many special events every year that require EMS. We, as a department, are often most visible to the public during these events and he is the person behind the scenes that makes sure everything is handled properly. HE has a thorough grasp of what is needed, how to get it and who to speak with. MIKE also often personally oversees these events just to make sure everything goes as planned. HE fills many additional roles and responsibilities and quite simply one of those people that steps forward when something needs done. MIKE does not seek personal recognition or reward for his action, just considers it part of what he is here to do.

MIKE enjoys playing baseball in the Silver League, riding his motorcycle. HE and his wife, Mary, also enjoy spending time with their children, grandchildren, horses and traveling.

MIKE has a positive attitude and often expresses he much he enjoys his work and how thankful he is for the opportunity to serve.
