On his last weekend with the Jackson Fire Department after 30 years of service, Assistant Chief Hafemeister (AC) ran this incident as the Incident Commander (IC). Having Hafemeister run this incident as the IC was a great end to his career.
There are not enough ways to thank him for his 30 years with the JFD. Congratulations on your retirement Chief!
