Dave Badgett is a former fireman, Vietnam war veteran, Naval Postgraduate School instructor, and public safety consultant. He was also one of the leaders of a Los Angeles Fire Department specialty team flown across the country to respond to the 9/11 attacks. In his 32 years with the LAFD facing high-rise fires, shootings, riots, brushfires, and airplane crashes, nothing compared to those days spent in New York. For his courage and lifelong dedication to public safety, we are honoring Dave as a Nuvision hero.
