At 1 p.m. Saturday, a  Fire Department dispatch on the scanner honored former Assistant Fire Chief Scott Kulczycki with the ringing of the bell to signify his "return to the station."  

"Rest easy brother, we'll take it from here," the voice said.

Kulczycki, a.k.a. Fireman Scotty, left this earth unexpectedly Feb. 21, 2016. 

In 1987, he began his career as a firefighter and retired after 27 years. He also worked as a reserve deputy for the Kay County Sheriff’s Department for many years.
