Not silent about Cal
Upon his retirement, fellow firefighters remember Hammond as 'one of the good guys'
After 48 years as "the face of the fire department," Calvin "Cal" Hammond has retired from the Morris Fire Protection and Ambulance District.
Hammond's last day was Friday, Dec. 7, 48 years to the day since he started with the department when he was 25 years old.
"I went down there when I got out of the service. I guess I always wanted to be a fireman, so I went down there and signed up," said Hammond, who served in the Army.
