For the month of we want to congratulate Lieutenant Austin Yingst on being selected!

Members Name: Austin Yingst

Years of Service: Joined around 2011-2012

Previous Fire Service Experience: Previously ran with Mt. Holly as a junior

Career/Education: Machine Tender for Ahlstrom Filtration

What Encouraged You to Join: I was encouraged to come in to the U from Holly as a junior mostly for more experience, more call volume and to challenge myself at a disciplined and aggressive house

Family Info: Dad and both his brothers are long time members of Mt. Holly. Always grew up around a firehouse.

Most Memorable Call: My most memorable call was shortly after I joined we ran the Leer Fire I was a week away from my Mod D being finished up and got stuck on a rotary saw most of the night cutting chain link fence down around the perimeter of the property, napping on front porches on Fairground Ave. and dragging hose out of the way for incoming units but it is for sure a call I won't forget anytime soon.

We appreciate the hard work you put in as Lieutenant. You should spend some time rippin' some lips!
