The Elmer Kreachbaum Memorial Service Award is presented each year
to honor a firefighter who exhibits service and leadership above and beyond
the call of duty while exhibiting good character and values.

Firefighter Welter is a part-time firefighter with Hamilton Township; yet has
spent countless hours of his time developing computer software to streamline
the filing of EMS reports, making improvements to the software and training
firefighters how to use it. He also had volunteered to run for and was elected
to the post of Vice President of the Hamilton Township Fire Association. He
is the first part-time employee to receive this award.
