Norman “Norm” Simmons proudly served as a fireman on the Fairfax Fire Department for nearly three decades. After Norm’s retirement, he could still be found at the fire station running the radio during fires, and of course, he could always be found helping out at the fish fries.

In honor of his service, the fire department has purchased and installed two new Kenwood Digital mobile radios. These radios play a major role in the department by providing a direct communication link to not only the other fire departments in the area, but also to emergency medical services and law enforcement.

The Fairfax Fire Department appreciates the family of Norm Simmons thinking of the department by dedicating his memorial money. This improvement would not have been possible without their generosity.
