Fire-Dept-DSCN1355

The Tigerville Fire Department honored Charles K. “Ken” Ward and his wife Betty Jean during the annual awards banquet Friday night at North Greenville University. Chief Russell Ledford made the presentation and cited Ward for 38 years of dedicated service as a volunteer firefighter and 22 years as a Fire Commissioner. His commission term ends this month and Ward has decided at age 80 to allow younger firemen to rush out in the middle of the night in all kinds of weather to fight fires and preserve lives. Although he is retiring from official duties, no one expects Ken Ward to sit in a rocking chair at home if his fellow firemen are heading to a fire or assisting a neighbor in distress.
