Palm Harbor Fire Commissioner Honored With Highest Award

PALM HARBOR, FL — Palm Harbor Fire Rescue congratulates fire commissioner, James Angle, on receiving the Gale English Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the Florida Association of Special Districts.

The FASD is a collective voice for special-purpose government agencies. It strives to unify and strengthen special-purpose government through education, the exchange of ideas and active involvement in the legislative process.

The Gale English Lifetime Achievement Award is the highest award bestowed by the association. The recipient is selected by an awards committee and the honoree is a member who has sacrificed an extraordinary amount of his or her time in assistance to the FASD over several years.

The award was named after former South Indian River Water Control District General Manager Gale English who, in 2011, was posthumously honored with this award for his long-standing commitment and dedicated service to the FASD.

"I was honored, grateful and humbled by this award," said Angle. "I stand proudly with past recipients that have also given so much to the association. Saying 'thank you' does not seem to be enough."
