PHOTOS: A firefighter walked down the long driveway playing bagpipes. He stopped short of a golf cart on the lawn, as firefighters walked over with a white helmet. They were there to honor Johnell Smith who served with the Cantonment Volunteer Fire Department from 1995 to 2008, including a couple of years as department chief. He was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer a few months ago. "As a token of appreciation for your years of service and the dedication that you put in for the fire service…we'd like to give you a token of our appreciation," Molino District Chief Anthony Manning said as he presented a white chief's hat to Smith. "We thank you for your service, sir. We thank you for all that you have done." "Thank you," a tearful Smith said.
