Firefighter of the Year was presented to Captain Doug Wix.
A special recognition for Officer of the Year was also presented to Chief Henry. All in attendance participated in a moment of silence remembering fallen Firefighter Rodger Cecil. In recognition of Fire Chief Jim Henry’s upcoming retirement,
Deputy Chief Jason Bennett presented him with a plaque as a “thank you” for over 40 years of service to the City of Butler. Brenda Cecil also presented Chief Henry with a commemorative Firefighter Edition Henry Rifle.
In previous months Rodger Cecil had purchased the rifle and collected donations from special friends and firefighters from several departments to pay for the rifle for Chief Henry’s Retirement.
