Henderson’s Scott Foreman Calls It a Career

The Henderson Fire Department celebrated the retirement of Chief Scott Foreman. He had a wonderful career over the past 23 years, which Division Chief Dixon highlighted. He focused on both physical and mental health of our firefighters and helped establish a strong dive team. But, overwhelmingly, the message from those who spoke at his retirement ceremony was about how he inspired others to be the best version of themselves and how he was so focused on the community.

During the ceremony, the Henderson 911 center toned him out for the last time. Division Chief Watson also recognized both Chief Foreman and Engineer Deardorff with the lifesaving award. Back in April 2008, Chief Foreman (then Lieutenant) and Engineer Deardorff (then Firefighter) arrived at a structure fire and were told by bystanders there were still people in the home. They entered and rescued an eightmonth-old child. They never received an award, so Division Chief Watson wanted to recognize this act.

Above all, the department wants to wish Chief Foreman the best in all his future endeavors. His daily presence will be missed, but we know that he will remain in the Henderson Fire Department service based on all the programs he has instituted and all the personnel he mentored. Good luck, Chief! - Photos courtesy of Henderson FD
