The highest honor that the Holiday Park Volunteer Fire Department can bestow on a member is the status of “Life Member”. To achieve this level of membership sets that member in a Elite class in the history of the department after many years of committed service to the department.
To achieve Life Membership Status:
– The member must be in either the Active or Company member grouping
– Must have been a member of the fire department or the former Ladies Auxiliary or Ambulance Service
– He/she must have completed 60 voting quarters (15 years) of service as an Adult*
– He/she must be in good standing (no suspension or leave of absence)
– Note: Time as a Junior Firefighter/Member does not count*
Life Members are inducted into their new status at the Annual Banquet in January of the following year of obtaining status. He/she receives a platinum Life Member Badge, a Gold Life Member Engraved Card, and going forward their quarterly and annual points requirements drop to a lower level.
