American Medical Response hosted a special event Friday for its longest-serving employee, El Cajon-native Gordon Anderson, who has been with the company for 55 years., graduated from El Cajon Valley High School and has lived his adult life in the South Bay area of San Diego County. He joined AMR, Hartson's Ambulance then, on April 5, 1969, where he worked as an ambulance driver.

Over his career, Anderson has responded to some of the county's most memorable disasters, including the 1970 Laguna Fire and the crash of PSA Flight 182 in North Park in 1978. Later, as a dispatcher, he helped carry out AMR's response to the 1985 Normal Heights Fire, the 2003 Cedar Fire and the 2007 Witch Creek Fire.
