To Whom It May Concern:

Mr. [First M. Last Name] has served this office as Assistant Chief of the Bureau of Fire Prevention since 1 June 1946, on which date the office was established. During his association with the Office he has carried out his duties with the utmost in efficiency and dispatch and has displayed ability and willingness to perform work beyond the requirements of his position.

Mr. [Last Name] is remarkably well informed in all phases of firefighting, fire protection and fire prevention and has demonstrated a marked ability in the field of instruction - both the technical aspects of firefighting to the firemen and the presentation of fire prevention to the public.

As an individual Mr. [Last Name] is, in my estimation, a superior type. He is of sound character, industrious and a most pleasant and congenial person. He works effectively and harmoniously with both superiors and subordinates.

I am sorry Mr. [Last Name] is leaving us since he has been a definite asset to the organization and it has been a pleasure to work with him. I recommend him without reservation for any position requiring responsibility, good judgment and good workmanship.


[First M. Last Name]
Chief of the Bureau of Fire Prevention
