Honorary Fire Members
Print this page
This page is in honor to all the firefighters that have served on the Clinton Fire Department. We would like to thank them for all the hard work, dedication and putting their lives on the line for our community in keeping us safe. Firefighters are a rare breed. They will drop whatever they are doing to respond for a fire or rescue. They will risk their lives to save someone by running into a burning building as people are running out. We know that firefighters are not the only ones that sacrifice time and energy. Families give up being together at reunions, birthdays, school concerts, church activities and more. We would like to thank all the families for their sacrifice and for supporting the firefighters when the pagers go off.
