The Seminole County Fire Department’s (SCFD) recently supported the Central Florida’s Military, Firefighter & Cops (MFC) Motorcycle Club’s 3rd Annual “Honor Connor” Memorial Ride & Seminole State Foundation Scholarship Fundraiser in his honor at the Seminole Harley-Davidson.

SCFD Firefighter Connor Maxwell Fernandez was just 25 years old when his life was taken in an off-duty tragic motorcycle accident three years ago. He loved big trucks, motorcycles and firefighting. This event honored Connor by raising money for the scholarship funds to the Seminole State College Foundation to fund Firefighter/EMT and Paramedic scholarships in Connor’s name. So far, the scholarship has already helped dozens of firefighters. At the event, scholarship recipient and SCFD Firefighter Sam Pritchard spoke about the impact of the scholarship. Pritchard became a firefighter when he saw how SCFD responded to his grandmother in need.
