Cherokee County Fire & Emergency Services (CCFES) recently celebrated the retirement of five dedicated firefighters who have collectively served the citizens of Cherokee County for nearly 200 years. The retirees were honored at a special luncheon held at the Union Hill Community Center, attended by over 100 family members, friends, and fellow firefighters.
The retirees include:
Each of these men have had a profound impact on the lives of countless citizens and has been an integral part of Cherokee County’s firefighting and emergency response efforts. Throughout their careers, they have saved lives, protected property, and worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of the community.
During the luncheon, the retirees were presented with a Helmet Plaque by Fire Chief Eddie Robinson. This plaque, which symbolizes centuries of American firefighting tradition, serves both as a display for their retired fire helmets and as a tribute to their extraordinary dedication and service to both the department and the citizens of Cherokee County.
Those with over 25 years of service were also honored with a Commemorative Fire Axe – a symbol of the fire service and a recognition of their contributions to public safety.
“We are incredibly grateful for the years of service these men have given to Cherokee County and our community,” said Fire Chief Eddie Robinson. “They have set the highest standard of excellence, and their legacy will continue to inspire those who follow in their footsteps.”
The members of Cherokee County Fire & Emergency Services extend their heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for a long and fulfilling retirement to these five exceptional firefighters.
