Several firefighters and administrators joined his family and friends for the surprise party. York joined the Fire Department in 1958 and was an active firefighter for many years. He has been a part of the Fire Department 62 years and has seen the department grow from a small all-volunteer force to full-time unit with two manned stations and a third new station currently under construction.
