THE MANSFIELD FIRE MUSEUM

Gary Williams 1944 - 2005

Robreta Karger reads the commendations awarded over a lifetime of firefighting to the late Gary Williams who was the original director of the fire museum which opened in October 1994.

Williams served the Mansfield Fire Department for 25 years and rose to the rank of captain.  He also served as a captain in the Washington Township Volunteer Fire Department for 24 years; also rising to the rank of captain, and was a township trustee there for 25 years.

Ironically, Roberta and husband Don (left in the photo below) live in Washington Twp.  Retired fireman and volunteer guide Ray Secrist leads our tour group through this facility on a recent visit.  Please stop by Saturday for our story on this marvelous museum.
