A special thank you to our Fire Chief - John Fordon - for all he does for our community - both in the line of duty and far beyond it.

His commitment to our town goes well beyond fire safety.

Whether he’s setting up tables for the Carroll County Library's upcoming Bake & Book Sale, lending a helping hand at community events, or even rebuilding an internal wall at City Hall, he is always willing to step up and serve wherever he is needed.

Chief, your dedication, hard work, and willingness to help make a difference in so many ways. We are incredibly grateful for everything you do to support our community and the people you serve.

Thank you for always going above and beyond! We appreciate you!
