On Monday, April 12, members of the Ridge VFD and the RVFD Auxiliary gathered outside at our Deceased Members Memorial to witness the family of Secretary / Past President Timmy Ridgell place his nameplate on the Memorial Plaque. Following the plaque placement, the ringing of the bell sounded to recognize Timmy’s passing. It was a somber, yet special, moment. Our thoughts remain with the Ridgell family.
