Today we have the Honor of Celebrating one of the Greats. For 27 years, Chris Wilson has roamed these halls, rode the trucks & led with respect for his firefighters & this City. He’s never shied away from a challenge or a joke. From working his way up the ranks to Deputy Chief or playing the role of Ric Flair in the job fantasy football league, Chris has always been there for the team. This well earned retirement is going to be felt for years. The laughs, tears, cold nights, long days, through fires & devastation Chris has been in the front leading us through it with that smile he carries everywhere.
A million stories, a millon laughs, he’s a Firefighter through & through. Thank you for everything Deputy Chief Chris Wilson, it’s been a complete
honor Sir.

Fire Fighters of Huntington WV and Huntington Fire Department invited Squad 23 with Cabell County EMS down to Station 2 to participate in a joint training. EMS personnel went over their equipment and ways we can better assist them on scene. Trainings like these are vital for both agencies to work cohesively when duty calls.
