Union Fire Company mourns the loss of Fire Company President Jack Bresch. Jack joined Union Fire Company on Tuesday 8-8-1978 and served for 42 years, the last ten (10) as President of the Fire Company.
Jack had big shoes to fill, but led our Company through a decade of unprecedented growth. We renovated our kitchen, bathrooms and meeting room in 2011, put in a new front apron in 2013, built our Members room and new offices in 2014, had our tremendous 100th Anniversary parade and party in 2015, landscaped the front of our building in 2019 and installed our new sign in 2019. Jack’s greatest accomplishment may have been championing our Cadet program which began in 2012. Most of our young Firefighters came through our Cadet program and Jack served as a mentor and friend to all of our young people. We will always remember Jack leading by example, that great big smile, words of encouragement, the BBQ at the Beach and his extreme loyalty to Union Fire Company. Jack leaves behind a great legacy, a wonderful Firehouse family and great big shoes to fill.
