(Beaver Dam) The Beaver Dam Fire Department is highlighting the promotion of one of their own. Firefighter/Medic Josh Coffey has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant. He officially began his new role on Tuesday.
Coffey, a native of Georgia, began his fire service career with the Butts County Fire Department. He then served on the Henry County Fire Department in suburban Atlanta before he and his wife moved to Beaver Dam to be closer to family. Coffey joined the Beaver Dam Fire Department in 2017.
In addition to his more than two decades of experience, Coffey also holds a Wisconsin Paramedic license and is a certified emergency instructor. Officials with the agency say Coffey is passionate about training and spends a significant amount of time on the training ground and mentoring new firefighters.
