The Oviedo Fire Department proudly announces the promotions of two firefighters to Engineer and Lieutenant.
Oviedo Fire Chief Michael Woodward recently held an official pinning ceremony for Michael Radzak, who was promoted to Lieutenant and Tim Deppen, who was promoted to Engineer.
Lt. Radzak has been with the department for 11 years and has earned his certifications as Fire Officer I and II, Live Fire Instructor and has an Associate’s Degree in Emergency Medical Services.
Eng. Tim Deppen has been a firefighter for 21 years and in 2007 was recognized as Firefighter of the Year for his involvement immediately after a fatal plane crashed in a Sanford neighborhood.

“I am so proud of both of these firefighters,” said Fire Chief Michael Woodward. “Both have stepped up for the Department and the crews they work with, working hard to earn these promotions. They are well deserved.”
The official pinning ceremony was held at Fire Station 46. Fire Chief Michael Woodward presided over the event, which was attended by fellow firefighters, command staff and family members.
