The Northwest Fire Protection District is proud to wish a very happy birthday to Firefighter John Eccles. Since joining the department in 2019, John has become a valued member of our fire district family, known for his dedication, steady character, and willingness to step up wherever he is needed.

Those who serve alongside John know that his impact reaches beyond emergency response. He has been a mentor, a leader, and a dependable teammate whose example helps build confidence, teamwork, and pride throughout the department.
John also gives his time and effort behind the scenes by assisting with the maintenance of department vehicles and facilities. That work may not always be visible to the public, but it is essential to keeping the department prepared, organized, and ready to respond when the community needs us most.

We are grateful not only for John’s service, but for the pride he takes in the department and the care he shows for the people around him. His dedication, Mentorship and commitment to helping others make a meaningful difference to our team and our community.

Please join us in wishing John a happy birthday and thanking him for all he does for the Northwest Fire Protection District and the community we are honored to serve.

Happy Birthday, Firefighter Eccles!
