Retired CFD Firefighter John Santiper was honored for his 69 years of dedication to our Department and our Association! John was a dedicated member of Company 3 for many, many years. Officers and Firefighters from Company 3 picked John up at his house honoring him with a ride on newly rehabed Brush Breaker 28. John was then presented with a handmade plaque for all his years of dedication!
A big thank you to all the Company 2 members who provided a great meal for us to enjoy! What a great night! (Photo's by Firefighter, Mike Shaw)
Carver fire crews were dispatched to a possible Structure Fire, (Smoke in the Building) off of Snappit Road in North Carver. Due to the very tight roadways in the area, fire apparatus were immediately staged up, only bringing in limited Engine companies as needed. Crews located a faulty extension cord that had caught on fire and melted. The home was ventilated from smoke with no damage or injuries reported. (Photo's by Future CFD Firefighter, Matt Heath)
