The House Concurrent Resolution congratulates the St. Albans Town Fire Department on its 50 years of dedicated service to the community. Established in 1975, the department was formed to address the fire protection needs of St. Albans Town, receiving initial funding from St. Albans City. Under the leadership of its first fire chief, Roy C. Parah Sr., the department acquired essential firefighting equipment, including a Maxim water pumper and repurposed vehicles to enhance their capabilities. Over the years, the department has evolved from its humble beginnings to a respected organization with a well-trained team and modern equipment.
The resolution highlights the cooperative relationship that has developed between the St. Albans Town Fire Department and the St. Albans City Fire Department, which has improved significantly over time. Currently, both departments are led by Fire Chief Matt Mulheron, symbolizing their united efforts in serving the community. The resolution culminates in a call for the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the St. Albans Town Fire Department, recognizing their significant contributions and celebrating their upcoming milestone in August 2025.
