Station 1600 Dedication
 

On Saturday August 9th the Windsor Fire Department dedicated their station to a very loyal, humble and honorable man.  The dedication went to none other than our very own Deputy Chief Fred Burcham.  Fred is one of the founding members of our station.  He has been vigilantly watching over not only the citizens of Windsor & Mason Townships, but also the firefighters for over 40 years.

During the dedication, Fred recounted the memories of everything from getting out of bed at 4 o'clock in the morning to rescue a coon dog trapped in a tree to rescuing a cow from a tree to major structure fires.  Fred didn't become a firefighter for any type of glory; he didn't become a firefighter for the adrenalin rush.  Fred Burcham became not only a firefighter but a leader because, he loves his community and the people of it.

As our Chief, Don Christian said during the dedication, no amount of money can repay what Fred has done for the department or the community - this dedication is only a token of our love and appreciation for Fred.

The permanent bronze plaque has been ordered, but did not arrive in time for the ceremony.  As soon as the permanent plaque has arrived and is installed, we will post additional pictures.
