Peoria Fire-Medical Department engineer reaches milestone
Posted
A Peoria Fire-Medical Department engineer has reached a milestone in his career.
This week Bill Walp received his 35 years of service plaque.
Those years don’t include when he served as a volunteer firefighter for the department. He also served as a volunteer firefighter in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey.
Mr. Walp only has 18 months left with the Peoria Fire-Medical Department before retirement.
Officials thanked him for his 35 years of service, as well as wished him good luck and good health finishing his journey with the department.
