Nevada’s longest-serving firefighter retires after 46 years
LAS VEGAS (KVVU) — The longest-serving firefighter in Nevada wrapped up a 46 years of service with a sendoff at Las Vegas Fire Station 1.
The gathering in the truck bay on Monday brought together friends, family and coworkers recognizing Las Vegas Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Lawrence Wickliffe.
“My brother-in-law was in the fire service,” said Wickliffe. “I was about to graduate from college where I play football, and this was a physical job. It looks like a great opportunity. So that’s what got me started that’s what got me motivated in this direction,” Wickliffe said.
