MEMBER BANQUET

An appreciation banquet was held tonight at the Choctaw Volunteer Fire Department.

Department members were joined by board members of the Lafourche Parish Fire Protection District 8-B for a night of talking about accomplishments, dinner, and music.

Captain Gerald Andras Sr was recognized for his contributions to the department over the years, and especially over the past year. Gerald is always ready to serve by bringing apparatus to and from service appointments, running critical errands for the department, as well as for his hard work and dedication in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida.

Ms. Karlie Adams was also recognized for achieving an important milestone in the fire service; she received her Firefighter 1 certification from the Louisiana State University Fire and Emergency Training Institute.
