who paid the extreme sacrifice while operating at the Hawthorne Fire, October 22, 2024. Rob’s name was added to the memorial of Fallen Firefighters in front of the Firehouse. Also, a memorial bench was placed in Rob’s honor in the Silver Ridge Association, a community that was directly adjacent to the fire on Lamentation Mountain. Words cannot express the thanks to the Town of Berlin Fire Departments, that have been shoulder to shoulder with this Department and conducted this ceremony, Chief Simons, who was the Master of Ceremonies for today event, and the Silver Ridge Association. May you all stay safe.
