And now the U.S. Army is recognizing the department for its efforts. Michael Graves, Sierra Army Depot firefighter, was selected as the U.S. Army firefighter of the year, while the Sierra Army Depot fire department was selected as the Fire Department of the Year by U.S. Army Materiel Command – the U.S. Army’s 4-star command that oversees installation support and materiel readiness to the U.S. Army.
