Chief James L. "Jimmy" Carter

December 7, 2011

It’s with great sadness we announce the passing of Chief James L. "Jimmy" Carter. Chief Carter was the first Fire Chief of the Seminole Trail VFD and served in that capacity for 10 years. He was the man who set the foundation that made Seminole Trail Volunteer Fire Department what it is today. It was his steady demeanor that enabled STVFD to overcome many obstacles in our early years. He will be sorely missed.

RIP Chief

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Peggy Carter during this trying time.
