The officers and membership of Station 18 would like to congratulate Chief Mayhew for his many years of service guiding his department all the while fostering a strong and supportive working relationship between Stations 18 and 21. We also would like to congratulate Chief Uhland on his appointment to Chief of department. Chief Uhland, “Travis” has long been familiar with many of us here at Station 18, and we are proud of the fireman and leader he is today. Best wishes both of you!

Today, the members of the Hopewell Stow Creek Fire Department would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Chief Mayhew for his many years of dedicated service, leadership, and unwavering commitment to our department and the community we proudly serve. While he is stepping down from his role as Chief, we are grateful that he will continue to be a valued member of our department. His guidance, experience, and steady presence have left a lasting impact on all of us, and we truly appreciate everything he has given—and will continue to give—to this organization.

As we reflect on his contributions, we also look ahead to a new chapter. Please join us in congratulating Chief Uhland as he steps into his new role as Chief. We wish him the very best and offer our full support as he leads our department forward. We are confident that his leadership will continue to strengthen the traditions, values, and brotherhood that define the Hopewell Stow Creek Fire Department.
