We are proud to announce that the Pearl Fire Department Firefighter of the Month in July is Tyler Derriso. Tyler began his career with Pearl Fire Department on March 11, 2017. From day one, Tyler has been a firefighter that can be counted on to go above and beyond the call of duty. He graduated basic firefighter in the fall of 2017 and EMT basic school in the spring of 2018. Since then, he has been eager to learn the specifics of his job and is able to step up when needed to drive the engine. Tyler works at Station 4 and comes to work with a smile every day. He gives great care to our citizens when the call arises and is a valuable asset to the fire department and city of Pearl.
Tyler is a graduate of Raymond High School and is married to Valerie Derriso.
