6-13-2022.      If you have ever driven past Maugansville Volunteer Fire Station chances are you have a seen a friendly person waving with a smile on his face. That Person is Artie and he has a heart of gold and works hard not only at the fire station but also at his paid job. Artie not only does station chores but along with his buddy Kevin Blair has learned a lot and is an asset on calls. Artie really shines at the station making sure there are cold drinks on the apparatus and after a call does not hesitate to was the gear worn by our members. Artie also goes on calls and will do whatever is necessary to help his fellow firefighters.

Artie has done so much for the station and members when Artie wanted two pieces of equipment the team 13 members came together and through donations from members  were able to purchase the equipment Artie was saving for.  Deputy Chief Ridenour held back tears as he was proud of the members and stated ” I do not remember anything like this ever”  Artie was presented the equipment Monday evening before training.   Lots of hugs from the guys followed.   Artie keep doing a great job and know we all love and are here for you brother.
