CARRINGTON, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Jay Wolsky has been a firefighter for more than 30 years. Now, he’ll be remembered for all his service in the North Dakota Firefighters Hall of Fame.

Wolsky has served on the Carrington Fire Department since 2014.

“Induction into the Hall of Fame is conferred upon outstanding individuals whose contributions to and leadership of the fire service within North Dakota have been a milestone in the development of those services and whose actions have served not just their community but have contributed significantly to the fire service on a regional, statewide or national basis,” the hall of fame states.
