The Spike Baran Award is named after former Fire Academy Director, Milan “Spike” Baran. Chief Baran served the East Dover Fire Company as Chief; he also served as the District Chief for Fire District No. 1. Spike served as a fire instructor, deputy fire academy director and at the time of his death was the fire academy director. Spike’s untimely passing in 1999 left a big void to fill at the academy. The fire instructors came together and decided to create an award in Spikes name that reflected his dedication to the academy and to his great love of training and education; thus the Spike Baran Award was established. The award is presented to the best and brightest recruit from each Level 1 class. The first award was presented in 2001.
