05-31-12 SLCFD Water Salute Media Advisory

Today at 4 p.m., the Salt Lake City Fire Department will give John Craigle a water salute.

Craigle is retiring today from his position as a career and technical education specialist at the Salt Lake City School District. He has been instrumental in helping the fire department develop and maintain a partnership with the school district.

SLCFD firefighters will use an apparatus to spray water into the air as Craigle drives his vehicle out of the parking lot of Salt Lake Community College’s South Campus, at 1575 S. State St., for the final time as an employee of the school district.

The water salute will take place in the parking lot located in the northeast corner of the intersection of 17^th South and State St.

The school district offers a career and technical education class in fire science, taught by SLCFD firefighters. Craigle helped implement the program.

Members of the media are invited to cover the special tribute. Setup will take place at 3:30 p.m.
