He was a fire chief for the city of Mascotte and instrumental in elevating the department from a volunteer service to a fully career department before the station contracted with LCFR.

Media: No questions will be taken during the ceremony, but there is an opportunity for interviews at the station after the ceremony concludes. RSVPs are not required, but are encouraged so that we can stage an area if needed.
