Northside's Eric Parker, a lieutenant with the fire district, retired this past fall; Chief Brad Mitton's last day is Sunday, Dec. 31; and longtime volunteer, captain, and fire commissioner Ray Yaw retires in mid-January.
An open-house-style retirement celebration for Mitton, Parker, and Yaw is being held today from 4-7 p.m. at the Elks Lodge. All are invited to attend and pay tribute to the trio.
