There is an elite group among the Ponca Hills Firefighters; they all wear a black leather jacket. Six of that group are founding members, who started the fire department in 1964. Three of those founding members are still on the active roster. Three other members of the group earned their jackets for achieving 50 years of service. Last night, Firefighter Clare Duda became the fourth member to receive his leather jacket. Congratulations Clare for your 50 years of service to the Ponca Hills Community!
