Farewell to Matt Smith, who is retiring from the Albion Fire Department after 14 years of service. Matt, in addition to being an active firefighter and the AFD Secretary for several years, formerly served on the Albion Town Council, and was also an EMT with the Noble County EMS.

shield as a token of appreciation for his years of service.
(Matt, who works full time as a technical writer, is no relation to Doctor Who, although I've always felt his heart is bigger on the inside.)
That is a good time of service for him.
ReplyDeleteYes, and I think it's about average for volunteer firefighters. It's hard to keep that going when family and other matters intrude.
