York Daily Record
Chad Deardorff announced his retirement as chief of the City of York Department of Fire/Rescue Services, according to a news release from York Mayor Michael Helfrich on Wednesday.
Deardorff spent the past two years as chief, capping off a 26-year career with the department. Deputy Chief William Sleeger Jr. will be appointed acting chief on March 26, the release states.
“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the residents and visitors of the City of York. I have had the distinct pleasure of working with some of the best Firefighters this profession has ever seen, Deardorff said in the news release. “I am beyond proud to have been the leader of such a talented and dedicated group of individuals that make the City of York Department of Fire/Rescue Services the best department in the state.”
In 2011, Steven Reid recalled, he was in a dark place.
Reid was running the streets, getting into trouble and planning on harming himself. He said he “didn’t want to be here anymore.” So he started dropping subtle hints in text messages.
Next, without warning, his friend, Erik Miranda, came banging on the door. He then spent the next couple of weeks looking after him.
“He kind of just showed up,” said Reid, now 28, a corrections officer who lives in York. “Literally, dragged me outside.”
Miranda was an intelligent young man, family members and friends said, and wise beyond his years. He initially aspired to become an entrepreneur but later moved toward becoming a leader in the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
