Former Chief Herb MacDonald Retires from the Georgetown Fire Department
Chief Albert Beardsley recently announced the retirement of long-time Georgetown Firefighter Herb MacDonald. Herb joined the Georgetown Fire Department in 1964 working out of the Erie 4 fire station until his retirement. During his time with the fire department, Herb held a wide assortment of positions including Deputy Chief and Chief of Department. Chief Beardsley reported first working with Herb when Herb was Chief at an extensive brush fire off what is now Pillsbury Lane. Herb was a plain spoken and effective leader and firefighter. Chief Beardsley went onto say, “Herb knew we had a heavy-duty brush truck and asked us to get into the fire as deep as possible, and to ferry personnel and equipment into the scene.” We did just that and what impressed me most was Herb’s concern for
the firefighters that day. He made sure everyone received refreshments. Herb will be greatly missed by all as a great firefighter, pump operator and friend to many. We wish Herb the best in his retirement and look forward to him stopping by the fire houses to talk.
