• 105 years of service: Couple retire with enduring legacy in rural volunteer firefighting in Morgan Territory (danvillesanramon.com) — Volunteer firefighters Roger and Suzanne Lake are retiring after more than 50 years serving rural Morgan Territory, in a program historically tied to Danville-San Ramon fire services.
