August 2024 Employee of the Month

Justin Nienhuis has been chosen as the August 2024 Employee of the month. Justin Nienhuis began his firefighting career with the City of Cleveland in 2006 where he rose to the rank of Assistant Chief.  In 2016 he and his family moved to the City of Drumright where he became a volunteer firefighter for the Drumright Fire Department.  Justin began working for a private company providing fire protection for Holly Oil Refinery in Tulsa shortly after moving to Drumright.  After many failed attempts at hiring Lieutenant Nienhuis away from the private sector, the Drumright Fire Department was able to get him hired in February of this year.  Lieutenant Nienhuis has proven himself to be a valuable employee to the Drumright Fire Department. Justin has training in Fire Tactics and EMS. Justin has assisted in a much-needed upgrade to our city’s 911 facility and equipment. We are very proud to have Justin as an employee for the City of Drumright.
