20070703 Westminster firefighter has served for 30 years
News Briefs 07/03/07 Email this story to a friend
Mike Glass, a career engineer
Members of the
As firefighters gathered around over sandwiches and ice cream cake, Westminster Fire Department Chief Jeff Alexander presented Glass with a plaque.
Chief Alexander noted that in 30 years Glass has seen "many changes, but through it all we could always count on Mike to be there."
Glass remarked that "it had been a pleasure" to serve all those years as he immediately fielded questions as to whether or not he would put in another 30 years.
At that point, members of the department could not help but mistake the otherwise serious ceremony for a roast.
Glass took some good-natured ribbing as stories of his three decades began to unfold. Glass, who was accompanied by his wife, Nancy, seemed to be able to give and good as he got.
One member was overheard to say, "Thirty years, wow, that's a long time. How did ya do it?"
"It wasn't easy. It wasn't easy," said Glass. "Now let's get back to work."

Sykesville Freedom District Fire Company: Providing service to South Carroll Sykesville's fire company started in 1933, after a blaze drew out firefighters from Ellicott City and Mount Airy.
