Chief Minor is an amazing asset not only to Pittsville and Wood County, but this whole region!!!

A little over thirteen years ago, a fire chief asked my father-in-law if he knew where to find someone who could teach vehicle extrication. Dan said "he knew a guy".

The class was presented and a lasting impact was made that has continued to grow and spread. Chief's ability to bring firefighters and organizations together is second to absolutely none (such as pictured from this recent 1403 training burn). While those around him pull their own weight, my impression is that they would follow him anywhere.

These thirteen years later, I am still blessed to call that Chief a colleague in the fire service, a tremendous mentor, and friend.

Why bring it up? Because our mentors need to know their impact.

Thank you Chief Jerry Minor!
