Kevin Jackson is Genoa Township's most senior firefighter.
Today, he was bestowed the honor of carrying "Badge 1." He will carry this badge until he retires.
Kevin has been an integral part of this department since 2003, when he was hired. He has mentored many of our new firefighters through the years. He has served in committees within the department and served as our union's treasurer for many years. He has given selflessly for the duration of his time at Genoa Township.
Kevin was surprised with this distinction as he was joined by his wife, children, parents and mother-in-law.
This is not a new tradition within the fire service, but it is a new tradition for Genoa Township. There is not a finer man to carry this inaugural "Badge 1" than Kevin Jackson.
Please join us in congratulating him for this honor!
