Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Firefighters with the Lamont Fire Department surprised its only surviving original member by the renaming its fire hall the Robert A. Mitchell Fire Station No. 4. The official unveiling was held on Sept. 12 with around 100 people in attendance. Assistant Fire Chief John Helton said Mitchell, who has served 70 years with the department, was not aware of what was going
to happen until the sign in his honour was actually unveiled for all to see during special ceremony that began at 2 pm. The eighty-nine-year-old Mitchell is second oldest serving firefighter in all of Canada. Helton said he’s been such an inspiration to him and helped guide him when he first became fire chief. “He told me to be yourself and that really, really helped me.”
