How do you surprise someone who doesn’t get surprised? You get 10 departments to come by and send you their well wishes. Thank you to Chief Wayne Gravius who is retiring as a Chief Officer tonight.
Wayne, also known as Dude around the firehouse, has been a member for over 50 years and served as an officer over the past 40 years. Wayne has also served as the town fire marshal since 1985.
The BVFC is what it is today because of every ounce of blood, sweat and tears you have put into this department.
