The Town of Raymond extends sincere thanks to Fire Chief Doug Holt for his 40 years of dedicated service with the Raymond Fire Department, including the past 13 years as Fire Chief, as he retires from his role.

Doug’s leadership, dedication, and care for residents have helped keep our community safe for decades, and we are grateful for all he has contributed.
