Sedgwick County recognizes Division Chief Clint Reed as 2025 Firefighter of the Year
Summary
County communications announced Division Chief Clint Reed as the 2025 Sedgwick County Firefighter of the Year; Reed described a new emergency fire dispatch program that tailors response to call type to keep more units available for high‑priority incidents.
Nicole Gibbs of Strategic Communications announced the 2025 Sedgwick County Firefighter of the Year, Division Chief Clint Reed of Sedgwick County Fire District 1. Reed was nominated by his peers and could not attend the meeting because he was presenting at a leadership summit; Deputy/Fire staff joined the meeting to accept the recognition.
Division Chief Reed described the emergency fire dispatch program he helped implement that programs responses by call type instead of sending full responses to lower‑severity calls. "So in the past, everything was just lumped together... now we can really pinpoint down exactly what we want to respond to each emergency type," Reed said, adding the change helps keep more units available for higher‑priority calls while the program is in a growing stage.
