There is an old saying that there are two types of people in the world. Those who run away from the fire and those who run into it. Residents of Jackson Parish are fortunate that there are many who fall into the latter category among our midst. 

One who is following a family tradition and has dedicated his life to serving Jackson Parish is Assistant Fire Chief Mitch Nunn, who is the focus of today’s Ward Four Fire Protection District spotlight.

Not only does Mitch serve as a certified rescue diver and our Training Officer, but his commitment to our community and the Ward 4 family runs deep. He consistently goes above and beyond, ensuring our volunteers are well-trained and prepared for the challenges they face. Just last week, Mitch led a vital training on using thermal imaging to detect people and hotspots in houses—keeping safety at the forefront of everything he does.

Mitch’s dedication to service and his strong work ethic come as no surprise to those who know him and his incredible parents. They have instilled in him the values of hard work, selflessness, and community support, all of which shine through in everything Mitch does. Their support and influence have played a huge role in shaping him into the exceptional leader he is today.

We are incredibly fortunate to have Mitch as part of our team, and we are grateful for his tireless dedication to both Ward 4 and our community.

Thank you, Mitch, and thank you to his wonderful family for all that you do! – Ward 4 FPD
