Firefighters honor three

The Tea Volunteer Fire Department recognized three of its members in February.

Brayden Fowlds was named Cadet of the Year. Fowlds, 17, is in his third year as a cadet. As a cadet, he works so that everybody has the tools that they need.

Fowlds, who is a junior at Tea Area High School, has been around the fire department since before he could walk and has been a part of the cadet program since he was 14.
