Homewood Fire Department history

From the Village of Homewood, Illinois

James Wright, a lifelong Homewood resident, longtime historian, and dedicated community member is honored and commended for the generous donation of one of his most prized possessions of a 1954 Ford Fire Chief car to the Village of Homewood.
Jim served on the Village of Homewood Fire Department as a cadet from 1975-1977, was promoted to a paid on-call member in 1977 and ultimately retired as a 2nd Lieutenant in 1997. Mr. Wright was elected as Trustee for the Village of Homewood in April 1997 and served proudly through April 2001. Jim was actively involved with the Homewood Historical Society since 1983 serving several terms as president and authoring the books Homewood and Homewood Through the Years.
 
Jim adored the Homewood fire service nearly as much as he loved his Homewood community and desired to leave his treasured and beloved 1954 Ford Fire Chief Car to the Village of Homewood to be displayed at the Homewood Fire Department and to be driven in the Homewood 4th of July parade for many years to come.
 
Jim Wright will be remembered for his wisdom, unyielding faith, his commitment to community service, and servanthood to the Village of Homewood.
