Firefighter First Class Jimmy Lipscomb, dedicated his life to helping others.
Since he was a teenager, Lipscomb volunteered at a local fire department outside of Morgantown before beginning his twenty-one year run with the Morgantown Fire Department.
“You become a close knit family, you grow up with them, you watch some of them come up through the ranks and like I said, they’re family. You rely just as much on them as you do your wife, your sisters, your brothers, they’re a second family,” said Lipscomb.
Friends, family, and co-workers gathered to celebrate the hard work and dedication he has provided the city of Morgantown for more than two decades.
“It’s always hard to lose a senior guy, it’s nice to see him move on. It is a younger department these days so, to lose a senior guy with the skills and the knowledge that he has, it definitely leaves a big hole."
