No More Fires For Charlton
Ray Charlton, 72, of Hinckley, after 35 years with the Hinckley Volunteer Fire Department, recently resigned as assistant chief. He recalls a small department growth from one truck and 15 members to multiple fire apparatus and about double staff. He notes fires have changed with better heating, grass fires and rescue calls rising. Charlton credits early founder Laverne Peterson for starting the service and reflects on the emotional toll of witnessing deaths, yet says he would not have stayed so long if he did not enjoy the work.
