The Oak Bluffs Fire-EMS Department would like to recognize Captain Michael Araujo, who retired from the department on November 19, 2019.
Mike began his firefighting career in 1988 at the age of 16, as a Junior Firefighter in Tisbury.
After nine years he joined the Oak Bluffs Fire Department on October 6, 1997.
With over twenty one years on this department, he steadily worked his way up to the position of 1st Lieutenant on Rescue Truck 561 and later became a Captain on June 13, 2018. His years of experience and knowledge have benefited the department and community greatly. He has been a strong leader and an outstanding member of society.
While serving he has responded to numerous rescue and fire calls, participated year-round in firefighter training and education drills, and gave countless hours of his time for fundraising and educating the community on fire safety.
We offer our gratitude to his family for their sacrifices due to Mike’s dedication, as well as their hours of volunteering for the department.
Thank you Misty, Tyrone and Tevin.
Thank you Captain Araujo for your dedication and commitment in keeping our Department respected and strong.
