Lieutenant Chris Lisak

Lt. Chris Lisak joined the Redford Fire Dept in 2011. For the past 12 years, Chris has proven himself and excelled as a firefighter, paramedic and in his current role as lieutenant. Over the years Chris has been awarded a number of merit awards and has quickly moved through the ranks to his current position. His crew and new members look up to for his leadership, eagerness to help improve the department in any way he can, and his gen- eral overall positive attitude. Chris has been a member on the Western Wayne HazMat Team for the past several years and also serving as a pension board representative. Chris currently assists with our policy and SOG committee and has been very ac- tive in upgrading the depart- ment’s software capabilities. Chris showed tremendous leadership and took on the responsibility over this past year of completely overhauling our incident preplan/inspection software, something that has not been revamped in many, many years. Over the past year Chris has spent countless hours both on and off duty to bring this software to our department while proving to be invaluable asset to our department’s operation going forward. On Chris’ days away from the department, he is usually busy spending time with his wife Britney, riding mountain bike trails, and deer hunting in the fall. The department is proud to select Chris Lisak as this years’ Firefighter of the Year.
