This morning at Station 1, Richie Lucas was officially sworn in as Fire Chief of the Lewiston Fire Department.

For the members of Lewiston Firefighters Local 1773, this is an especially meaningful moment. Before his promotion to Deputy Chief took him out of the bargaining unit, Richie was an integral part of Local 1773 and spent many years working alongside the men and women he now has the responsibility of leading.

Throughout his career, Richie's love for the fire service has always been evident-but just as important has been his commitment to the people who do the work. He understands the long shifts, the missed holidays, the difficult calls, the traditions, and the pride that come with this profession because he has lived them alongside us.

Titles and responsibilities change, but the mission remains the same: taking care of our community and taking care of the men and women who answer the call.

Local 1773 is proud to congratulate our former union brother and longtime friend, Fire Chief Richie Lucas. We wish him success as he begins this new chapter and look forward to working together for the future of the Lewiston Fire Department.

Congratulations, Chief Lucas. Well earned.

📷 City of Lewiston Mayor Dan Johnson swears in Lewiston's newest Fire Chief, Richie Lucas.

25 years later, we have not forgotten.

We remember those who were lost, those who answered the call, and the sacrifices made on September 11, 2001.

Their courage, service, and sacrifice remain with us — a reminder of what it means to answer the call.

Never Forget. 🇺🇸

Some of today’s on-duty crew stopped by to cheer on the off-duty crews out collecting for MDA!

Emery also had some extra fire service support today from his grandpa, Dave McConnell, retired Captain with Clarkston Professional Firefighters Local 2299.

Pretty special to have generations of firefighters, Emery, his friends, and our community all coming together to help kick MD’s butt! 💪🧑‍🚒❤️
