What did independence actually mean to the people of Ashby in 1776? 🌍📜

It is with deep sadness that the Chief announces the passing of retired Assistant Chief Mark Haven.

Assistant Chief Haven began his service with the department as a member of the Auxiliary in 1978 before joining the department in 1980. Through decades of dedicated service, he became a highly respected and deeply involved member of the organization, eventually serving as Assistant Chief from 2001 until his retirement in 2006.

Mark’s commitment to the department and the community left a lasting impact on generations of members. His years of service, leadership, and dedication will not be forgotten.

Please keep the Haven family, along with his fire service family and friends, in your thoughts during this difficult time.
