With more than 50 years of service and multiple life-saving instances throughout his career, this recognition is truly well deserved. His commitment, professionalism, and dedication to helping others continue to make an impact both in our department and throughout the community.

At around 19:40 hours Wednesday night the Halesite Fire Department was activated for a reported residential structure fire. Quickly on scene was Chief of Department Erik Weber who transmitted the working fire. Crews encountered active fire conditions extending from the first floor to the second floor and into the attic space. Crews stretched three handlines and initiated an aggressive interior attack to confine and extinguish the fire.

The main body of fire was brought under control in less than 20 minutes. Crews then conducted extensive overhaul operations to locate and eliminate any remaining hot spots and to ensure there was no further extension. All units were back in service within 3 hours and the scene was turned over to TOH fire marshals.

No civilian or firefighter injuries were reported.

Thank you to mutual aid companies from
