The late Mr Jack Lillis, a native of Galway, left his employment as an officer with Galway Civil Defense to take up the duty of Second Fire Officer with Donegal Fire Service in 1963.

Jack assumed responsibility for drilling and training the part-time firemen in the County, including Stranorlar & Ballybofey Fire Service. Retired members of S&B Fire Brigade have fond memories of Jack's vast experience of firemanship and bright sence of humour.

The Donegal Fire Service remembers with great sadness, Jack's death in 1981, while still employed by Donegal County Council.
