This is the 15th year of the Bass Tournament, which benefits the WHAS Crusade for Children. The department plans to honor Chief Rob Orkies this year.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Zoneton Fire suffered some tough losses in 2020, including the death of Fire Chief Rob Orkies. Orkies, who worked in fire service for nearly four decades, passed away in Dec. following a battle with cancer and COVID-19.
The department is planning to honor the former chief’s memory at this year’s Bass Tournament.
“Chief used to take anybody that walked through that door under his wing,” said Zoneton firefighter Wayne Mosely. He said Orkies was a big fan of fishing and was also dedicated to giving back.
