Congratulations to Jacksonville legend Dean Wiggins on his life membership at Company 47! Dean has held MANY positions with the fire company, including EMS captain.

Members of Company 47 spent some of the afternoon performing the annual testing on the rural water resources in our area. This includes flushing, flowing, and checking for damage. Our area, which encompasses around 72 square miles, has many of these as we have no public water or hydrants. The source seen here is in a 47-01 box in the Monkton area.
