🎉Congratulations 🎉
Recently we celebrated an achievement of a life time for these firefighters. Through dedication, hard work and commitment they pulled it off. In a Fire Department tradition they changed their shields from Orange to Black. Signifying a completed probationary year and acceptance as full fledged Firefighters. The work doesn’t end here. In fact, it’s just begun. 💪 great job to you all!

Please join IAFF Local 5470 in congratulating Division Chief Myles Held on an incredible 30 years of service to Palm Beach Gardens Fire Rescue!

A Driver Engineer before being promoted to Division Chief of Logistics, Chief Held built a reputation for his reliability, dedication, and unwavering commitment to supporting the crews in the field.

Whether it was securing essential equipment, anticipating the needs of our firefighters, or showing up on scene during an extended incident, Chief Held was always someone we could count on. His presence was a welcome sight, knowing that whatever we needed, he would find a way to make it happen.

A true example of servant leadership, Chief Held understood that taking care of his firefighters meant giving them the tools and support they needed to succeed.

Chief, thank you for 30 years of hard work, dedication, and for always having our backs. Your contributions to this department and its members have made a lasting impact.

Congratulations, Chief Held, and thank you for 30 outstanding years! 👏🚒

In true Derby fashion Congratulations to Driver Engineer John “Johnny” Reynolds on an incredible 28 years of service!

Johnny has been one of those guys everyone was happy to see walk through the door. He’s kind-hearted, friendly, and always good for a smile. It was only fitting to send him off with a Derby-themed celebration surrounded by friends, family, and the people he spent his career with.

Local 5470 was proud to present Johnny with his retirement axe in recognition of 28 years of service.

Enjoy retirement Johnny you’ve certainly earned it. We’ll miss you kid!
