Emergency Fire Department Volunteers Honored
The Jekyll Island Fire Department Emergency Volunteers recently had several members receive service awards for ten years of service. Over the last ten years this group of dedicated individuals has spent hundreds of hours training, fund raising, and providing assistance to the Jekyll Island Fire Department. The Volunteers are responsible for providing much needed equipment to our emergency services. Some equipment came in the form of grant monies which were written for the department by key members of the volunteers. Other equipment was purchased with funds raised by all the volunteers utilizing just pure hard work on their end. Jekyll Island would like to thank every member of the volunteers for helping make our department as a whole what it is today. It is a pleasure having such dedicated people whose sole purpose is to help others! Ralph and Susan Steffan and Chip Ward also received a very nice retirement plaque as they announced they would be resigning after the awards and were surprised with a badge embossed plaque as keep sake for their years of service. Jekyll Island’s deepest appreciation goes out to all of these hard working and talented individuals.
