A Legacy of Service: From Paramedic to Firefighter

Diving into his rich history, Chief Eade started his professional journey with the Montrose VA FD in 1997. His dedication and passion led him to transfer to the Mohegan FD in August of 2000. During his tenure at Mohegan, he wasn’t just any firefighter. Known affectionately as “Cap” by colleagues, Thomas exuded a friendly nature and approachable leadership style.
