Frankford Township Fire Department members honored Life Member Andy Retz on May 10th for his 50 years of service to the department and the community.

He supported fundraising efforts, took part in community events, taught generations of firemen, and helped steer the organization through major changes over the course of five decades.

Leaders of the department acknowledged Retz's longstanding dedication to public service and his significant contribution to the department's development and culture. Although he doesn't attend to situations as often as he did in the past, authorities said his impact is still felt across the whole business.

Members expressed gratitude to Retz for his leadership, commitment, and fifty years of service to Frankford Township.
