Last night the Jackson Fire Dept held their annual holiday dinner at the The Wildcat Inn and Tavern in Jackson. They surprised Ben English II with an award for his service to the Fire Dept and the Town of Jackson. Ben has been a member of the dept since 1977 and also serves as a Deputy Fire Warden and member of the CCFFWA. They wanted to recognize his service over the years and let him enjoy his Pulaski-plaque long before he might consider retiring (they won’t let him retire anyway). Congratulations Ben!
The Conway Daily Sun published a few nice articles on Fire Towers recently.
Congratulations go out to Gordon Lang for his service to the Town of Jackson. 42 years as the Forest Warden! At the Wednesday April 22nd, 2015 meeting, John Dodge presented Gordon with a Certificate of Merit, signed by Jeff Rose and Brad Simpkins. Thank you for your service Gordon and good luck to Kenny Crowther, his son-in-law, as he takes over the role for the Town of Jackson.
