Bo Allen, Fire Chief of the May Volunteer Fire Department, was given the Quarterly First Responder Recognition during the Brown County Commissioners meeting Tuesday morning at the courthouse.

Allen was joined by his wife, Karla, as he received the certificate read and presented by County Judge, Dr. Paul Lilly.  Dee Hart represented North Lake Community Church in presenting $100 gift card from United Supermarket to Chief Allen for his service to the community of May.

“I’m accepting this, not as an individual, please understand that.  For me, it’s about our department, about our county.  I’m just a small part of it.  I humbly accept this recognition and thank you so much,” Allen said.

Allen is also a longtime member of the May School Board of Trustees.
