Tonight at our monthly business meeting, we promoted two probationary firefighters.

Roger and Nick had to "earn" their new shields, which solidify them as certified interior firefighters.

After taking the over 280-hour academy this past fall, all their hard work has paid off! Their careers are just now beginning, and they both have a bright future.

"Never stop learning."

Congratulations, Nick and Roger, and welcome to the club!

We would like to recognize and thank one of our own as he retires from the Pere Marquette Fire Department. Thomas Johnston.

His career in emergency services began in 1989 as a full-time paramedic/ER tech, followed by joining a volunteer fire department in 1991. He brought that wealth of knowledge, experience, and commitment with him when he joined Pere Marquette Fire Department in 2018.

Throughout his time with us, he has been a valued member of our team—always willing to share his expertise, lend a hand, and help make those around him better.

On behalf of the entire Pere Marquette Fire Department, thank you for your years of service, dedication, and everything you’ve done for our department and community. Your impact will not be forgotten.
