WRTFD Chief Officer receives honor

During the regular meeting of the Johnson County Firefighters Association Thursday evening, White River Township Fire Department Deputy Chief Scott M. Cassin received the highest award given to a past or present firefighter in Johnson County.  The Dick VanValer Service Award is presented annually to one Johnson County firefighter, either actively serving or previously serving, who displays extraordinary commitment to their community.
 
        Chief Cassin has been with the White River Township Fire Department since 1986, where he was promoted last January to the position of Deputy Chief.  Scott's hard work and dedication to the fire department and the community that it serves is never ending, thus making him the best recipient for this year's award.  Congratulations Scott!
