Congrats to Firefighter Lee Fadeley for earning his college degree in Fire Science. What an awesome accomplishment.

Another congratulations is in order for our Deputy Chief, Lee Fadeley on his graduation. Lee graduated on May 9th from Vol State Community College and received his Associates Degree in Fire Science, with a final GPA of a 3.8. Right before starting this endeavor he also obtained his Fire Officer 4 Certification (He wouldn't let us post it when he got it, so I'm sneaking it in now!🤭) Congratulations Lee!
