Tim Hicks, director of Audiovisual Classroom Services, was recently honored as the Oriskany Falls Fire Department 2002 Firefighter of the Year. Tim has been a firefighter for nearly three years.

Tim got involved with the fire department after spending many years doing community service related projects with youth, such as the Cub Scouts, library board and youth council. "After many years of doing stuff with the kids, I decided to move up and do something different," he said.

Tim enjoys the camaraderie of the fire department. "It's a different feeling of helping in the community, such as when you're driving someone to the hospital or putting out a chimney fire," he said.

In other Hicks family news, an episode featuring Tim's three children was recently aired on America's Funniest Videos. Tim filmed the video and submitted it to the show back in 1996. Finally, in February of this year, the show contacted him to say the episode would be aired. It features Tim's son, Justin, swallowing jello squares – whole! – while his other children, Tasha and Andrew, watch.
