Please take a few moments with Willow and Caswell Fire Departments to Remember & Thank a wonderful person, Driver-Operator Roger DeLongchamp
Our community and Fire Service has lost a very dedicated and reliable member early this morning as he was preparing to respond to an emergency. His was also recently awarded the Quarterly Award by the Mat-Su Bourogh for Service and Dedication.
Roger joined the Department approximately 3.5 years ago after the Borough saw the need to create a class for a Driver Operator position in order to utilize the truck driving skills and experience of an older adult that is not interested in going into burning structures as Firefighters. This proved itself extremely beneficial by way of getting apparatus to fires, and Roger was extremely dedicated and reliable. His dedication and commitment went beyond driving and running a pump on a fire truck. Roger was always willing to help with anything he could.
Thank you Roger for your service and dedication to this community, you will be missed terribly.
We would like to thank his loved ones for sharing his time and expertise, and send our sincere condolences.
God bless them all and families and friends
