Over the past two years and in partnership with Pasquotank County High School (PCHS), the Elizabeth City Fire Department (ECFD) has hosted PCHS Senior and ECFD Intern Colby McKethan as she pursues a future career in the Fire Service. We like to think that we have taught Colby many things, both about Firefighting and life, but the truth is, she has likely taught us much more including strength, hard work, and resilience. Colby is seen here signing her official commitment to Barton College, on a Track & Field Scholarship, as she plans to study Forensic (Fire) Sciences. They say it takes a village and we could not be prouder to have had a small part in raising this one. Best wishes, Colby, and see you soon!!
