Ken Holstein

Time in service: 46 years

Background: Started out as a driver because I worked shift work as a Gas Troubleman for PECO. Progressed thru every rank until elected Department Chief and held that position for 12 years

Why did they want to join MRFC: My brother, Chief of the Department in 1976, had his house set on fire in a robbery attempt and I realized how much damage was caused by a 40 minute fire and realized that I could assist others by joining the Fire Department .

About: I was 33 years old when I joined and found out that you become family as a member and there is no way to describe how fulfilling helping others in their time of distress
