Today we honor Retired Chief Michael Spanknebel as he completes his final radio call after 27 years of dedicated service to The Hadley Fire Department.

As dispatch called out his final call, it marked the end of an incredible career, but the legacy of leadership, service and heart he leaves behind will carry on for years to come.

Thank you for your service, Chief. Enjoy a well-deserved retirement.
