MEXICO – Richard Jones was out of high school for only a year when he discovered he loved firefighting.
The Mexico Fire Department responded to a blaze on Whitman Street in 1975 and Jones decided to help because they were short-handed.
“That’s what got me going,” he said Thursday afternoon as he discussed his 33 years with the department.
Jones, a Mexico native and graduate of Mexico High School in 1974, and 12-year deputy chief of the department, was given the Lifetime Achievement Award at the annual Maine State Federation of Firefighters convention in Boothbay Harbor last weekend. Until this year, that same award was known as the Firefighter of the Year.
