A huge congratulations and thank you to DCEMS Lieutenant Tom Calland on 30 years of service to the citizens and visitors of Delaware County... and beyond.
Lt. Calland is assigned to Medic 6 which cohabitates with Porter-Kingston Fire District. With that Lt. Calland has provided care in Delaware County but also travels into both Knox and Morrow counties supporting our mutual aid partners when needed. He has made quite a wide-spread impact!
Congratulations!
Let`s hear it for Lt. Calland!!
