Soledad volunteer firefighter retires

Jose Perez retires from volunteering for Cal Fire


SOLEDAD — Local volunteer firefighter Jose Perez was honored and recognized for his service to the fire department and the City of Soledad at the last city council meeting on Jan. 8.

“The only thing that I regret is that I didn’t get the opportunity to work with him like I would have liked to,” said new South County Cal Fire battalion chief Josh Campbell.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
