Chief Mahlon Irish Jr. has devoted his life to the fire service, primarily training firefighters to do their job safely.
He recently retired as village of Homer fire chief. Over the years, he has worked with numerous departments within the county as a Deputy Fire Coordinator.
Those who nominated him say he is always available to help where needed, especially when it comes to his vast knowledge of fire trucks.
Irish Jr, still drives engines for the village — and even owns a couple antiques himself, which he is currently restoring.
His latest endeavor has been educating people on firefighter cancer with his Believe 31 Program.
As a cancer survivor himself, Mahlon tours the country teaching firefighters a new way to be safe against an enemy that hides in their gear, trucks, and station.
