Green Valley Fire District graduated 14 new firefighters and promoted several others at a ceremony Friday.

The new hires recently completed an eight-week transitional fire academy and will now rotate among the GVFD stations to become familiar with the coverage area.

Also Friday, the District promoted three people to the rank of Captain and six others to Engineer to help with this month's opening of a new fire station in Quail Creek.

T.J. Lundgren was recognized as the Recruit Honor Graduate of Class 2010-01.

Battalion Chief Chuck Wunder said the organization is eager to get the new firefighters working across Green Valley and southern Sahuarita.

A FICO employee apparently struck by lightning during a monsoon Wednesday afternoon is expected to survive. The same storm struck at least one palm tree in The Villages and left 19,000 homes without power for about an hour after downing four power poles near Three Points.

Firefighters said the man, who is in his 70s, was brought into Green Valley Fire District Station 153 on Continental Road about 4 p.m. and was transported to a Tucson hospital.   According to a FICO spokeswoman, the man was on a radio with a supervisor who heard the crack of lightning. He went to the employee's location and found him face-down under a tree. She said it’s unclear whether he was struck by lightning and said the man was disoriented but talking. The man is a longtime FICO employee and lives in Continental.

FICO owns the pecan groves that run through Sahuarita and Green Valley.
