🚒🎉 Happy Birthday, Brian Leonhardt! 🎉🚒

Brian is a second-generation firefighter who has dedicated more than 40 years to serving with Propst Crossroads. Over the years, he has served in several roles, including Training Officer, and continues to serve today as both a firefighter and a member of our Board of Directors.

Brian recently retired from NCDOT, but he stays busy working on his family farm and tending to their cattle. We’re grateful for Brian’s many years of service. Help us wish him a very Happy Birthday!
