Polk County Fire District No.1 is proud to announce Adam Chinnock as the November 2025 Member of the Month. Adam joined the fire district in 2017 as a new volunteer and has demonstrated exceptional dedication and skill earning his promotion to Lieutenant in 2023.

Adam's journey with the fire district is a testament to his committment and integrity. Balancing multiple roles, he works full-time at a local bank, is a devoted husband, and a father to three adorable children. Alongside his family, he enjoys the company of a cute, fluffy dog named McLoed. Adam holds a Bachelor's degree, which underscores his dedication to personal and professional growth. 

Adam has been recognized as Member of the Month because he embodies the qualities every agency desires in a volunteer. His integrity and work ethic are unmatched, making him a role model with the fire district. Currently Adam is leading the agency's Engineer Academy and has recently contributed to the completion of the P1FFA audit. His committment extends beyond routine duties, as he has volunteered for several conflagrations, including two this summer, he has participated in the Seattle Stairclimb events, and our monthly roadside cleanup. 

Adam's knowledge of fire apparatus, equipment, and skills is widely respected, and his team looks up to him for mentorship. His decisions are trusted, and his leadership style is characterized by patience and a strong committment to safety. 

Adam's strong morals and values have a far-reaching impact, reflecting not just at the fire station but also in his community relationships. He is a well-respected individual, and his contributions greatly benefit both the fire district and community it serves. We are honored to congratulate Adam Chinnock on this well-deserved recognition. His dedication and exemplary service continue to inspire all who have the privilege of working with him.
