The Board of Firefighters, led by Captain Rob Rawley, recognized the following active members for their hard work this past year...

Sean McCausland was awarded Life Membership for his 25 years of active service.
The President's Award was renamed The Heed Award in honor of all the Heed Family members (way too many to mention) who served throughout Fame's long standing history. This year's recipient is Rick Sapovits. Rick was recognized for his outstanding fundraising efforts for the Fame.
Finally, a special award was presented to Life Member FF Steve Amway who celebrates 50 years of active service this year at the Fame! Many of Fame’s past Captains and Chiefs were in attendance to congratulate Steve on this remarkable milestone!
A great time was had by all! |
