LYON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A beloved retired metro Detroit fire chief found himself without a home following a devastating fire over the weekend. Now, the community he served for decades is lending a helping hand.
For more than 40 years — 30 as chief — Les Cash of Lyon Township would answer in the middle of the night to put out fires.
All as a volunteer. “He’s just a great guy. He was always on every call; just did a lot for the community,” said New Hudson Ron Lopez, who worked with Cash. Lopez and his wife are working to raise money to honor and support the 70-year-old retired chief, who is now in hospice care.
