Recently, Lieutenant Moore was joined in the Leesburg Fire Department by his son Jacob, one of the city’s newest firefighters. Jeff attributes his deep connection to the community to his family’s longstanding ties to Leesburg. “I’m old school Leesburg. My dad’s dad was the mayor here in the ’60s, and so this is where I live and where I love,” Jeff said.
His colleagues echo the reasons for his nomination, highlighting the numerous events he volunteers for throughout the year. “Lieutenant Jeff Moore’s dedication and service are an inspiration to all, and this award is a testament to his well-deserved recognition,” said City Manager Al Minner.
