As I sit here looking over all these pages of FF and EMT's I reflect back on a man who changed our dept. HE was on our fire board for over 30 years. Was a great community leader. Never knew a stranger and would give the shirt off his back. Fought tirelessly for all FF and EMT's to ensure proper trainign and funding. This man was callled to heaven Sunday Feb 23,2009 at the age of 82. He will be sadly missed by all and never be replaced.

He attends high school where he runs track and plays soccer. He also listens to his iPod, talks on his cell phone and plays video games just like every other kid his age. But unlike most of his peers, Joshua has accomplished something quite extraordinary —winning an AFG for a brand new fire engine.
