Millington Fire District No. 5 Chief Drew Solomon was a man who was "passionate about fire protection service," not only for the residents he was sworn to protect, but to all of the citizens of Coos County through his cooperative efforts working with fellow firefighters in Coos County.
Solomon, 61, died Feb. 10 after a valiant battle with lung cancer.
"Chief Solomon was a dedicated and hard working Fire Chief who enjoyed sharing his knowledge, teaching new firefighters and always fighting for what he believed in," said a post from the North Bay Fire Department on its Facebook page. "His fingerprints will forever be on the Coos County fire service and his name, accomplishments and dedication will never be forgotten. God bless Drew, his family and the Millington Fire District. You are all in our thoughts and prayers."
