Our QDR Hometown Hero Of The Week is Richard Sykes, Captain at Orange Grove Volunteer fire Department in Efland.

Richard has been in Fire Service for 30 years, and he does a lot for the fire department, his church, and his community. He is a great husband, dad, grandfather, and great grandfather. He’ll go out of his way to help you in every way. And a big congratulations to Richard, because, as of April 12th, he has officially retired, but after just a month off, he is going back to work at Orange Grove Volunteer Fire Department part-time. 

Thank you, Richard, for your service! As a token of our appreciation, we’re sending you a $50 gift card to Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q to thank you for all you do.
