A LEGEND MOVES ON
One of the most well respected Fire Officers in the Battalion is moving on in search of new challenges. Captain II John Nelson, Fire Station 102 "C" Platoon, is transferring to Fire Station 33.Captain Nelson brings his 48 years of experience to an assignment that has been one of his favorite through the years. In 1971 John helped open the "new" Fire Station 33 when he held the rank of Engineer. He was later assigned there as a Captain and gained a wealth of experience while working at "Fire City".
John has been assigned to Fire Station 102 for 19 years and has set a great example for the younger Officers while training many young Firefighters who have gone on to be some of the Department's finest. It is impossible to replace a member of Captain Nelson's caliber who takes such a wealth of experience with him to his new assignment.
John, the Battalion 14 "A", "B" and "C" Command Teams all wish you the best of luck at 33s and look forward to working with you at "The Big One". You will be missed.
