2019 Annual Awards – Here is more recognition from our irreplaceable volunteer firefighters that have not only answered the call to serve their community but also keep showing up… for years, sometimes many years. We tell folks that when you join up that the service and desire to serve kind of gets in your blood. The only way to deal with it is to continue answering the call when the call comes in. So, we wanted to recognize special awards over the past year and also those that have met milestones this year. We definitely wanted to acknowledge years of service when sometimes it was not recognized on the true anniversary. We will do better going forward each year to hit closer to the mark but wanted to show those that met a significant milestone, and usually more years, than what was shown on their certificate for this event. Please hold your applause until the end, just kidding….give ’em a standing ovation whenever you are ready.
