The Great Bend Fire Department is giving Fire Inspector Mark Orth a big sendoff on Thursday, July 29. Orth retired from the Department in June after 33 years of service.
He started his career in 1988 as a volunteer firefighter. He was hired as a full-time firefighter a little over a year later. Orth was promoted to the position of Fire Inspector in 1999.
The fire department is honoring Orth with a retirement celebration from 3 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. at the main fire station on Williams Street. The public is invited to attend the event.
