Members of NPFD 5 gathered with colleagues, friends and the family of the late Chief John Nicholas at the Lambre’s Gin Station on Nov. 18 to dedicate Engine 1 in honor of the dedication and service of Chief Nicholas to NPFD 5.

Chief Nicholas served the district in many capacities over the past 18 years, serving the last 12+ in the Chief’s role. He was tireless in the pursuit of the betterment of the services provided to the residents in Fire District #5 and was the driving force behind the acquisition of Engine 1. Engine 1 has the latest in pump and equipment technology and enables efficient and effective fire response.

A plaque to honor the memory of Chief Nicholas was also installed at Lambre’s Gin Station.
