Chief Jimmy B. Keith and Lewis B. Nuckles Memorial Page
The members, both past and present and citizens of Wake Forest are forever grateful and wish to acknowledge the outstanding character of those not with us any longer. Without the strong leadership of Chief Keith the Wake Forest FD would not be the outstanding example of Pride, Professionalism, Compassion and Care that it is today. Firefighter Nuckles dedicated his life to the Wake Forest FD and gave the ultimate sacrafice volunteering for what he loved doing. For the example of these two men the Lewis B. Nuckles Award was created and presented to the Volunteer Firefighter of the Year and the Jimmy B. Keith Award is presented to the Employee of the Year.
In 2006 the Jimmy B. Keith Memorial was erected and dedicated at Station #1 in downtown Wake Forest.
