There’s a New Badge 1 in Town

With the retirement of Dave Morse, the tradition of passing “Badge 1” or the most senior firefighter continues. This morning at 0745, Dave passed on Badge 1 to Mike Metzker in front of his family, shift, and friends!

While Dave did not hold the honors for long he said it best: “it’s not how long you have the badge, just having it is the honor”.

Mike holds 30 years with the department as well, with the intention of a few more years in the saddle before retiring himself. Congrats Mikey!
