Randy Mobley has spent the last 40 years learning that some of life’s richest rewards do not fit on a bank account ledger.
当他从不伦瑞克消防局开始时，莫布利认为他很快就会继续获得更有益的财务收获。
“我不打算长期成为一名消防员，”莫布利周二对新闻说。“这还不够。”
Somewhere along the way, however, Mobley realized life is measured by what you give rather than what you get.
“After saving someone’s life that first time and after answering the call to respond when you’re needed, there was nothing bigger or better to me than being a firefighter,” said Mobley, 61. “Nothing in the whole world.”
The Brunswick Fire Chief announced his retirement July 20, ending his career right where it started.
Mobley was 20 years old when he joined the city fire department in 1982. He worked his way up through ranks, becoming the department’s fire chief in 2012.
He has no regrets about spending his entire career in the service of the people of Brunswick.
“I have loved it with a passion,” Mobley said. “It’s been a privilege and an honor to serve the citizens of Brunswick for 41 years. As a young firefighter, this is not what I planned on. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
Wednesday is Mobley’s last day with the fire department. Brunswick Assistant Fire Chief Tim White will serve as the city’s interim fire chief.
在Mobley任职期间，消防部门启动了一个计划，以在不伦瑞克省的每个住宅中安装免费的烟雾报警器。自2016年以来，不伦瑞克消防员在城市范围内的房屋中安装了10,000多个烟雾报警器。
The smoke detectors were purchased with donations from individuals, civic organizations and other groups such as the American Red Cross.
在Mobley的指示下，城市消防员在不伦瑞克省的门口向门，作为Knock4Life计划的一部分，以安装免费的烟雾探测器。
Also under Mobley’s tenure, the Brunswick Fire Department attained and maintained a Class 1 Insurance Service Office (ISO) rating. As of last year, it was among only 94 departments nationwide and a handful in Georgia to hold the rating.
Mobley has always placed a high premium on training. The department even maintains a “burn building” and training facility on property behind its station on Fourth Street.
“I just want to thank all the citizens of Brunswick for supporting the fire department,” Mobley said. “And I’d like to thank the firefighters for their loyalty and dedication to the citizens of Brunswick. And thanks for all their hard work.”
As for the future, Mobley said he looks forward to a few good nights’ sleep without interruption from some unforeseen emergency. Among others, the department battled massive blazes fueled by mountains of wood pellets at the Logistec warehouses, first in July 2015 and again in May 2021.
Mobley also looks forward to spending more time fishing and just getting out.
“我想每天晚上都要睡大约两个月，直通，”莫布利笑着说。“没有深夜的电话。然后我期待着钓鱼。回到湖泊或河上。然后我想旅行。”
Mobley will be missed.
格林县消防局长R.K.说：“当您拥有这种经验和他确定的任期时，这就是难以替代的经验和历史。”约旦。“在那段时间内，很难跟上标准和做法的变化，但是兰迪做得很好。他赢得了退休，希望他非常喜欢。”
