CHAMBERSBURG — The Greater Chambersburg Area Paid Fire Fighters Association, IAFF Local 1813, extends congratulations to Firefighter Randy Himes on his retirement following 30 years of dedicated service to the community.

Over the years, he served in various capacities, including a significant tenure on the ambulance service before his final role as the Engine Operator of Engine 1-1. His career is marked by a commitment to excellence and a deep sense of duty to the citizens, visitors, and residents of Chambersburg.
Throughout his time with the department, Himes took on numerous roles.

The association expressed their admiration and gratitude, stating, “Brother Himes, we will miss seeing you around the station but know that you have left the department better than the way you found it. Congratulations, Brother, and enjoy your well-deserved retirement.” Himes’ retirement marks the end of an era for the department, but his legacy of service and camaraderie will continue to inspire future generations of firefighters in Chambersburg.
