Former Lafayette Township fire chief honored for 25 years of service
Jeff Hall was honored Wednesday night with the Lafayette Township Firefighters Association Chief's Award for 25 years of service. The former co-chief and part-time EMT with Westfield and Seville/Guilford Fire Departments helped lead equipment upgrades and the new safety services building. Hall stepped down as chief in May 2021 and praised the staff he built, while Township Trustee Lynda Bowers noted the recognition as fitting for his leadership. He remains connected through mutual aid and praised Chief Winkler as a strong successor and the Lafayette community as exceptional.
