From West Plains Fire and Rescue:
After dedicating 40 years to serving others, Fire Chief Roy Sims retired in 2020, leaving behind a legacy that will continue to protect and strengthen our community for generations. His leadership and vision were instrumental in securing over $2 million in federal grant funding, resources that helped shape West Plains Fire & Rescue and the Region G All-Hazards Response Team into the capable, well-equipped organizations they are today.
His impact went far beyond equipment and funding — it was felt in the readiness of our crews, the safety of our responders, and the lives saved because of his commitment to the mission. The fire service is better because he served, and we are grateful for the foundation he helped build.
We honor his service, his dedication, and the lasting mark he leaves on the fire service family.
Rest easy — your watch has ended, but your legacy lives on.
