On Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to this country. Freedom is not free. May we never forget their sacrifice.

This Memorial Day, we are especially thinking of LTJG Thomas Arthur Ruth, who was lost in service in the South Pacific during World War II. He has finally been accounted for and has returned home to Jackson.

The graveside service is open to the public and will be held this Wednesday, May 27th, at 11:00 AM at Riverside Cemetery.
We encourage the community to attend to help honor his sacrifice and service.

Why did you want to join the fire service?
I wanted to join because I believe in serving the community I live in and helping the people around me when they need it the most. I was drawn to the teamwork, commitment, and trust that comes with the job.

What do you enjoy most about being a firefighter?
I enjoy the friendships I have made. I also enjoy our training, keeping my skills sharp and learning new ones. At times it can be demanding in a way that feels rewarding.

Are there any memorable moments you would like to share?
Moments I have enjoyed are presenting the fire safety program to students at the schools. Also taking my son on parades and trunk or treat.

Any advice for others wanting to join the fire service?
The best part of the fire department is the people. Come ready to learn, help out where you can, and stay committed, it’s worth it.
