HRFD TRUSTEES AWARDS DINNER Photos by Stephanie Hipp.
Harlem-Roscoe Fire Trustees held the department’s annual Trustee’s Appreciation Awards Dinner on March 25th, 2023 at Mary’s Market in Roscoe. After a delicious buffet meal put out by Mary’s Market, the awards were presented.
HRFD Fire Chief Patrick Trollop presented Engineer Matt Bush and Engineer Marty Green each an award for their 40 years of fire service. Chief Trollop praises the two, “Engineers Bush and Green were given an award on Saturday night to recognize their 40 years of service to not only the Harlem-Roscoe Fire Protection District, but to the communities that we serve. The longevity that both individuals have given to the community is extraordinary. There are only two former members of the department that have served more time. The number of hours that these two have put into serving the community is an extreme amount. The time given is much more than responding to calls, trainings, and working paid on premise shifts. This time can also be measured in friendship and mentorship. For their time and dedication to the community and the Harlem-Roscoe Fire Protection District, and both of their friendships to me, there is not much I can say besides THANK YOU.”
