Lt. Col. William Hooper, 3rd Marine Air Wing Deputy Operations Officer, accepts the 2012 Cal Fire Director's Partnership Award on behalf of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force from Chief Ken Pimlott, California Department of Forestry & Fire Protection Director at a ceremony in Sacramento, Calif., Jan. 3. The unit was selected for the award based on its supporting stance in times of dire need from Cal Fire services. Marine Corps Installations West also received the same award, and each was recognized for supplying both aerial and ground equipment in support of fire suppression efforts. "Marines are part of the community in Southern California, and we're proud to be able to provide resources when needed to protect the lives and property of our neighbors," Hooper said.
