Chief David P. Roser New Castle County Past Chiefs Social
Friday, October 17, 2025
On Friday, October 17, 2025, the 2nd New Castle County Past Chiefs Social was held at the Hockessin Fire Company. This year was the first time for the event to be held under the new name of Chief David P. Roser New Castle County Past Chiefs Social.
At the end of last year’s event, the committee unanimously decided to change the name of the event in Chief Roser's honor as it was his idea for the event.
Once again, Good Will Fire Company Chief Emeritus Grover Ingle served as Master of Ceremonies. We were welcomed by both Chief Michael Perrone and President Dan Carrier of the Hockessin Fire Company. NCC Chiefs Association President Mark Harris gave opening remarks.
A delicious dinner was prepared by the Hockessin Ladies Auxiliary. After dinner, introductions by companies of all their Past Chiefs in attendance. There was a total of 55 in attendance.
The Committee then recognized Chief Roser again for his lifelong dedication by presenting a wooden plaque with his portrait. The committee then recognized Chief Ken Farrall of the Aetna Hose, Hook and Ladder with our first Lifetime Achievement Award for his years of dedication and being awarded the 2025 DVFA Firefighter of the Year Recipient.
