The Officers and Members of Hose Company Two regretfully announce the passing of Honorary Chief and Senior Man Robert J. “Bobby” O’Donnell.

Bobby joined the Baldwin Fire Department and Hose Company Two on May 9, 1966, beginning what would become an incredible 60 years of dedicated service to the department and the Baldwin community.

Throughout his career, Bobby rose through the ranks of Hose Company Two, serving as:

  • 2nd Lieutenant — 1979
  • 1st Lieutenant — 1980
  • Captain — 1981

In 2016, the Baldwin Fire Department honored Bobby for his 50 years of dedicated service and proudly bestowed upon him the rank of Honorary Chief of the Baldwin Fire Department.

Bobby’s dedication, leadership, friendship, and commitment to the Baldwin Fire Department will never be forgotten. His legacy will live on through the countless firefighters he worked alongside and the generations of members who followed in his footsteps.

Rest Easy, Bobby. Your watch is over.

A Lifetime of Dedication. 🚒🖤
