In Memoriam of "Craig Helmholz"
Craig Helmholz inspired our program. Craig began volunteering with SKFR (Dist 7) in 1995.
He was exceptional because he continued to serve the community through the department
even after beginning his battle with cancer.
Sadly, Craig passed away in November 1999.
Craig is seen above; posing with his girlfriend Nicole at a local parade and enjoying
some leisure activity at home.

In Memoriam of "Chief Kirk"
We regret to report that the Chester Kirk scholarship has been discontinued due to funding.
Chief Kirk was also a noted member of Fire District 7. He is a WW II veteran who began volunteering as a firefighter in 1941 and was Chief for District 7 between 1966 and 1982. He past away in 2003. His family made a donation to our association and asked to carry a scholarship in his name.
Cheif Kirk is seen above at the fire station.
