A Misawa Air Base Airman recently won the 2020 Military Firefighter of the Year Award for the Air Force.
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Journey Collier, a 35th Civil Engineer Squadron firefighter, will represent the Air Force in the 2020 Department of Defense Military Firefighter of the Year competition. Collier said she is humbled and recognizes her team for enabling her success.
“It's a huge accomplishment, but it's definitely not something that I did by myself,” said Collier. “I've spent all four years of my career at Misawa Air Base. I've had many supervisors and experiences that have definitely helped mold me into who I am now.”
