North County Fire honors Hoyt for service to her community

Fallbrook resident Olivia Hoyt, who served as a dispatcher with the North County Dispatch Joint Powers Authority for over 13 years, was recently honored by North County Fire following her recent retirement.

In January, Hoyt was the recipient of the NCFPD Challenge Coin Recognition Program for "her selfless acts of service for this agency and this community." During the presentation, she was called "an ambassador for not only North Comm, but also this organization over the years playing instrumental roles in efforts like supporting young Parker Landis..."

While Hoyt also worked with crews and agencies of surrounding cities, she was most involved with her home department, North County Fire Protection District. She participated in many of its events and some special projects like helping Parker Landis, along with North County Fire Capt. John Choi and firefighter/paramedic Ben Lian.

Parker was a young boy who lived in Hoyt's neighborhood community who had an aggressive brain tumor and died in 2017. North County Fire made him a junior firefighter for a day, and the experience was a huge support for him and his family.

The Village News published an article about Hoyt giving the CPR instructions that saved the life of Bonsall resident Erica Myers in February 2008. Myers thanked Hoyt in person after she recovered from the heart attack. Hoyt said that she still keeps in contact with Myers 12 years later.

Hoyt's husband was promoted to a job in Washington state, and the family is relocating.

See Hoyt's thank you letter to North County Fire on page A-3.
