AN INTERVIEW WITH RICK GASS
PROGRAM COORDINATOR

VOLUNTEER
PROGRAM
\ Es
Rick Gass has been
in the fire service
for 30 plus years, a
dream come true for
a young boy from
South Florida.
"Growing up I lived
near a Fire Station.
On Saturday
mornings all the
alarms would sound
and I would run to
watch the trucks
flashing their lights."
After a long career, Rick still found himself compelled to
get involved in his community. In November of 2022, Rick
approached our Fire Chief and asked for the opportunity
to serve the Department in anyway he could!
