Zoneton FD
Fern Creek FD is mouring with our friends at the Zoneton Fire Department as they say Goodbye to their Chief. Chief Rob Orkies lost his battle with Cancer and Covid-19 on December 11th. Chief Orkies served his community for 36 years and lead his department in a way that few others will ever be able to match.
