It’s Featured Firefighter Friday in the City of Edwardsville

Today on Featured Firefighter Friday, the City recognizes Captain/Paramedic Rodney Hall, who is approaching 22 years of service with the Edwardsville Fire Department.

Promoted to Lieutenant in 2008 and then to Captain in February of 2021, Hall was a previous member of Edwardsville Explorer Post 1070 as a teenager, and prior to joining the Edwardsville Fire Department, he served as a volunteer firefighter in Holiday Shores and Glen Carbon. He had previously worked at Laughlin Ambulance Service, and as a career firefighter at the Melvin Price Support Center in Granite City.

“I’m very proud to be able to work for the City of Edwardsville,” Hall stated. “I always knew I wanted to be a firefighter and started testing at fire departments all over Illinois and the country at a young age. I’m glad that I was finally hired in Edwardsville, since there are many advantages to working for the City where I lived and grew up.”

Rodney has been married to his wife Shana for almost 20 years, and they have two children together.

Please join us in celebrating this valued team member and trusted leader in the Edwardsville Fire Department.
