The Department is saddened to announce the passing of former member and past Chief, Richard D Reinacher.

Richard was a dedicated member of the department for over 22 years. He joined the department in 1964, after serving proudly in the Navy during the Korean War, and served until 1986. Richard also served as our Fire Chief from 1976-1977. He also served our community for 15 years as a crossing gaurd.

The department sends its condolences to the Reinacher Family.
