Today, the officers and members of the Glenn Dale Fire Association pause to honor and remember Past Chief, Past President, and Life Member William “Bill” Howzdy, who tragically lost his life in the line of duty 25 years ago while working at the fire station.

Chief Howzdy dedicated his life to the fire service, his fellow firefighters, and the community he proudly served. His leadership, commitment, and contributions to the Glenn Dale Fire Association left a lasting legacy that continues to be remembered today.

Although 25 years have passed, his sacrifice has never been forgotten. We remain forever grateful for his years of dedicated service and the impact he made on our department.

Today, we ask everyone to take a moment to remember Chief Howzdy, his family, and the legacy he left behind.

Rest easy, Chief. Your brothers and sisters at Glenn Dale will never forget you.
