The Palmer Municipal Fire Department has announced that retired Fire Chief Ed Dean died Thursday morning. Fire officials say Chief Dean was faithful to Palmer Township and the PMFD, displaying great passion of the Fire Service and the communities he served, and an instrumental part of creating what PMFD is today, a Municipal Fire Department.
Chief Dean was the mastermind and one of 15 Charter Members transforming the Fire Department from Palmer Township Fire Company to Palmer Municipal Fire Department in 1965, PMFD says. Officials say Chief Dean served as Fire Chief of Palmer Municipal Fire Department from 1977 to 1991.
