A retiring member of the Altamont Fire Department is honored during their last City Council Meeting.

Mayor Richard Hayward presented a plaque to Keith Shaffer to show the City's appreciation for his years of service. Shaffer started with the Altamont Fire Department in 1978 and has decided to hang up his gear.

The City says thank you to Shaffer for his 46 years of dedication and service to their community and that he will be missed by many who had the pleasure of working beside him through the years.
