RETIREMENT PARTY
We were so pleased to finally have the opportunity to honor 5 individuals that combined between them have over 130 years of dedicated service to the Oak Bluffs Fire Department. All the individuals honored were leaders in the Department and were instrumental to keeping it moving forward. Without their constant dedication and service, the department would not be where it is today!

Retired members honored:
