Bill Bray


 The Fire Service has a lot of traditions. Throughout most of history, the life of a Firefighter has been closely associated with the ringing of a bell. As he began his hours of duty, it was a bell that started it off. Through the day and night, each alarm was sounded with a bell, which called him to fight a fire or rescue a person, to place his life in jeopardy for the good of a fellow man. And when the fire was out, the rescue accomplished, or the alarm had come to an end, the bell rang 5-5-5 to signal the end. Now our friend, our brother, has completed his task and his duties are well done. The bell now rings 5-5-5 in memory of Bill Bray and Leonard Plemmons in tribute to their life and service.
