Join us in wishing our Fire Chief a Happy 40th Birthday! 🚒🎉

40 and still running toward the fire — that deserves a medal (and definitely a nap)! 😄

And of course, true to form, the Chief barely got to enjoy his birthday cake before the second call of the day came in… nothing says “party” like sirens and turnout/forestry gear! 🎂🚨

All jokes aside, your dedication, leadership, and commitment to keeping our communities safe never goes unnoticed.

Here’s to 40 years of being awesome — and many more ahead. 👏🔥
