On the same night five years ago that Scott Hackett became Victor Fire Chief and Mason Kay was appointed the assistant, the two men found themselves responding to a house fire south of town.
âI remember running command and he was there in fire gear going into the house right away,â Kay said. âHe always loved the firefighting side of it. He wants to be the one going into the house. Not the one telling others to do that.â
Not long ago, Hackett turned over his chiefâs white hat to Mason. He still plans to run into burning buildings.Â
