Last night, Company 5 had the privilege of hosting a celebration for Honorary Chief Edward Kovach in recognition of his completion of 50 years of active service in the Garfield Volunteer Fire Department. Eddie has served many roles in the company, but most importantly Eddie has acted as a role model, mentor, and leader to many generations of company members. Eddie was honored by the Garfield Fire Companies as well as City, County, State and Federal officials. Thank you Eddie for the selfless dedication you have shown to the City for the past 50 years!
