Frank Moses
Frank served on the Pic River Fire Department. Back then, Pic 50 firefighter. Driver, Trainer, Pump Operator, and Deputy Chief for years. He served for 30 plus years. Frank and two other travelled to St. Thomas, just outside Toronto in the 1980s to get the first fire truck for the community. And in 1990, he was much involved in acquiring the 2nd pumper truck. Frank and a group started fundraising for the Fire Department to renovate the fire hall and install an addition for a Training Centre. He was much involved and spent countless hours at the fire department. He was much dedicated to the department to the department for years he spent there between work and volunteering. Don't know how he did it. For this I think he deserves Volunteer recognition.
