Charlotte Fire is proud to recognize the men and women who retired from Charlotte Fire in 2025 after years of dedicated service to our community.
Throughout their careers, they answered the call when people needed help most, trained the next generation of firefighters, and helped shape the strong culture that defines Charlotte Fire today. Their commitment and leadership have left a lasting impact on our department and the community we serve.
This first video highlights several of the members who retired last year and the careers they devoted to protecting others.
Watch for part two tomorrow as we continue recognizing the Charlotte Fire members who retired in 2025 and thanking them for the difference they made.

Mayor Lyles: I take this personally I want my grandchildren to grow up and be a part of the city and that means we have to change and make things possible for them. We owe that not just to those who are here today but to Irina’s family, and every person. #wcnc#breaking#clt
