The Green River Fire Department recently honored Captain Jeb Burnett for his 35 years of service with the department. Jeb credited his wife Shelley for her support through the years, saying he couldn't have done it without her behind him.

Most volunteer firefighters around the country stay active for about five years. In Green River, the average is higher, with many volunteers serving for roughly a dozen years.
