2026 Annual Banquet

On Saturday night, the Pocomoke City Volunteer Fire Company held its annual banquet to celebrate the accomplishments of the department over the past year and to recognize members for their dedication, service, and sacrifice.

The Auxiliary recognized their members as well as Miss Fire Prevention Baylee Cowger, Little Miss Fire Prevention Levin Sterling, and Little Fire Chief Weston Tyler. The Auxiliary presented President Howard with a donation on behalf of the Auxiliary.

Service awards were presented to Angel Bolding and Jimmy Englishmen for five years of service; Noah King for ten years; Dean Olsen and Mark Speta for twenty years; Travis Cowger for twenty-five years; Michael Shannon for thirty-five years; Danny Miles for forty-five years; and Rick Choquette and Michael Dean for an incredible fifty years of service.

In addition, Michael Shannon was named Firefighter of the Year; the Chief’s Award was presented to Josh Weichmann; and Winter Rennick was awarded Rookie of the Year.

Firefighters Deyton Dean, Tommy Wall III, and Christian Martin, along with Officer Chris Barrs of the Pocomoke City Police Department were presented with awards for their heroic actions in rescuing a trapped occupant from a house fire prior to the fire department’s arrival—an outstanding example of courage, teamwork, and commitment to protecting our community.

The department also recognized its Top 15 Responders for the year: Larry Fykes, Mike Dean, Mike Shannon, Ryan Aydelotte, Dicky Gladding, Billy Sparrow, Travis Cowger, Paul Taylor, Bobby Ayres, Chris Henry, Josh Weichmann, Jerry Barbierri, Eric Denston, Marion Butler Jr., and Joseph Kamps.

We thank all of our members for their hard work, continued dedication, and countless hours of service throughout the year. We are also deeply grateful for the ongoing support of our community and to everyone who attended and helped make the evening a success.

Finally, we would like to thank the Snow Hill Volunteer Fire Company Inc for providing a stand-by crew so our members could enjoy an evening of fellowship.
