ELKTON, Sept. 18, 2021 \u2013 At the Singerly Fire Company\u2019s 129th<\/sup> annual banquet, I was pleased to receive a prestigious honor, induction into the Harford-Cecil Volunteer Firemen\u2019s Association Firefighter Hall of Fame and to also be recognized for 50-years-of service as a firefighter.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I joined Elkton\u2019s fire department in 1969 and, over the decades, have served as a firefighter, fire line officer, chief of the EMS Division, and in many administrative leadership positions. In addition, I have been active in state <\/a>and nat<\/a>ional fire service<\/a> organizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was an enjoyable evening as several members of the department marked a milestone of a half-century of service and as I joined a distinguished group of colleagues in the firefighter’s Hall of Fame for Harford and Cecil counties.  At the delayed banquet (2020 was canceled), local, state, and county officials were on hand to present citations from Governor Larry Hogan, the Maryland General Assembly, the Cecil County  Council, and the Town of Elkton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was honored and humbled that my colleagues nominated me for this prestigious honor.  The evening evoked many memories from over a half-century of service as a first responder.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
