The department wants to especially thank our previous Fire Chief. George Mateyko was one of the original members
of the department and was appointed as Chief in 1996. His efforts contributed to the success of the department.
George spent many hours building and repairing most of our equipment. Most of the vehicles were primarilly George's
effort. He always was willing to assist those in need. He left the department in October 2002 when he
decided to accept a new job in another state. He is now a member of the Houston County Fire Department in Georgia.
Good Luck 870!!
