I would like to honor a good friend and respected chief, Chief James M. Andrews of Clyde Fire Department. Chief Andrews passed away unexpected on Sunday, November 16, 2008. He was very instrustmental in helping his department acquire top knotch equipment. This equipment includes their 2007 KME engine and 2006 KME heavy rescue. Chief Andrews was a great advocate for training and firefighter safety. He always made sure his firefighters were well taken care of. He was extremely proud of his fire department and what they had been able to accomplish in such a small town. He certainly loved his fire service family. He will be greatly missed by many in the fire service.

Chief J. Mike Andrews
Mike leaves behind a wife and young daughter along with many friends in the fire service. Please keep your thoughts and prayers with them.

Calling hours will be at the Eagles in Clyde, OH on Wednesday 2-8pm. The funeral will begin at 10:30 am on Thursday morning (unsure of exact location).
