Price — Price City Council and fire department members honored Sid Nelson June 11 as he retires after more than 40 years with the Price City Fire Department.
Speakers recounted that Sid began his service with the city in December 1981, completed numerous certifications and trainings, and served for decades as the department's safety officer. Colleagues described him as a mentor, leader and protector who brought calm to fire scenes and supported fellow firefighters and families. Nelson spoke briefly, thanking his family and colleagues and reflecting on friendships built through the department.
Council and staff presented remarks and the meeting offered the community an opportunity to recognize Nelson's long service. No formal action or benefit change was recorded at the meeting; the recognition was ceremonial.
Next step: the city and fire department will mark retirement with appreciation and retiree acknowledgements outside the council record as appropriate.
