Wow! I am overwhelmed by the support of the Haines Volunteer Fire Department members, Haines Presbyterian Church and the community of Haines upon my retirement and throughout my career as a paid staff of the HVFD. Thank you for your kind words and letters of encouragement. I am honored and blessed to be part of the great community of Haines. Thanks to Chuck Mitman and Lyle Huff for spearheading a memorable event. Thank you, American Legion, for allowing us to use your facility. Thanks, Haines Borough Mayor Jan Hill, for the proclamation. Thanks to chief Scott Bradford and co-worker Jenn Walsh for daily help and support. Together we make Haines a better place to live, work and play. Blessings to all and be safe. Fireman Al Badgley
