Tri-State FPD chief retires

From a letter to the MABAS 10 chiefs:

Please see below from our friends at Tri-State

Subject: Chief Jack L. Mancione retires

This email comes with mixed feelings as we announce the retirement of Chief Jack L. Mancione.  Jack has had a 30 year career in the fire service, and he has decided that the time has come to retire.

Chief Mancione has worked his way through the ranks to an accomplished and recognized Chief Officer that has received several life safety and civic awards as well as the respect of his Community.

Jack has contributed thirty years of experience to our Fire District, and his achievements will not be forgotten. Please join us in wishing him the best in the next steps of his journey.

March 4, 1985 – November 6th, 2015

Congratulations Chief!
