	Charlie originally joined the Betsy Layne Fire Dept. on April 1st, 1991, and was later appointed to be Public Relations Officer on February 10th, 1992. He would excel in the position and his work would later land him the original Betsy Layne Firefighter of the Year award for 1992. During his first stint with the dept., Charlie obtained his Level I firefighter certification on April 29th, 1996, as well as his Level I instructor certification less than five months later on September 20th. Other than Public Relations, he served as Vice President from February 13th to June 26th, 1995, and as President from June 26th, 1995, until February 17th, 1997. He was also appointed as the department's Alternate Safety Officer from February 12th, 1996, until February 17th, 1997. Charlie went inactive on March 24th, 1997, and was reinstated on April 27th, 1998, however he would again be transferred to inactive status on September 10th, 2001. On July 30th, 2006, Charlie became a Level II certified firefighter and a certificate was issued to our department in his name. He returned to the dept. for the third time on January 27th, 2008, and was again appointed Public Relations Officer less than one month later on February 11th. Since his latest arrival, Charlie has again done an outstanding job as our public relations officer and he takes great pride in what he does for the community. Thanks to him, we now have Freddy the Firetruck to help him out with his job duties. During the months following Freddy's arrival, it would become a hit with kids and adults alike throughout the fire protection district as well as other surrounding areas. Among all his other duties, he is also Betsy Layne's Explorer Training Officer. Over his several years of service, in which he has been both a firefighter and training instructor, Charlie has accumulated an excess of 550 fire training hours with our dept both as a firefighter and an instructor. On February 8th, 2010, he was appointed as the fire dept's. Safety Officer.
