“A heckuva ride.” That’s how retiring KCFD Battalion Chief Clay Calvin described his 32 years of service to the Department. A retirement celebration took place at Station 23 (23’s) on the Avenue. While not with the Department after today, he’ll continue his service as Union President of IAFF Local 3808. From all of us here at The Northeast News, thank you Clay Calvin (center in photo) for your service to our community.

Tip of the pen to Station 23 FF Dan Carey for telling the News dog that Bat. Chief Hugh Oldham retires next week.

We’ll be on hand for Chief Oldham’s retirement at 23’s next weekend too!
