At the Wednesday, December 17, 2025 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners recognized three firefighters in honor of their upcoming retirements following years of dedicated service to Nassau County Fire Rescue (NCFR).
Matt Waggoner began his career with Nassau County on January 29, 2000, as a Firefighter/Paramedic, providing advanced medical care and emergency fire response to residents throughout the community. On June 16, 2001, he was promoted to the position of Engineer, a role in which he was responsible for driving and operating fire apparatus, managing water pump operations, and ensuring all equipment was prepared and ready for emergency response.
Matt announced his retirement effective January 2, 2026 after 25 years of service. He will be greatly missed by his colleagues and by the residents of Nassau County who have benefited from his years of service and commitment to public safety.
In addition to Engineer Waggoner, two other NCFR employees were recognized for their upcoming retirements, though they were unable to attend the meeting: Engineer Bradley Pierson, retiring after more than 25 years of service, and Engineer William Davis, retiring after 21 years of service.
The Board of County Commissioners commends Engineers Waggoner, Pierson, and Davis for their outstanding dedication and years of service, and extends best wishes to all three for continued success, health, and happiness in their well-earned retirement.
