Acushnet: Meet David Makuch

As the most senior member of the Acushnet Fire & EMS Department, David Makuch is the first member to be introduced in the “This is Us” campaign by the department. Acushnet Fire & EMS will single out each member of the department one by one, to introduce each to the community. Photo from the Acushnet Fire & EMS Facebook page.

THIS IS US

Monday, February 3, 2020: This week we will begin a new feature on our Facebook page designed to introduce each of our members to you. “This Is Us” (with apologies to the television show) will single out each member and tell you their story as a member of the department. I know how dedicated, professional and special our folks are. It’s time you did as well”.

— Chief Kevin Gallagher

We begin our introductions with the member of our department with the most seniority, David Makuch.

David joined the department in 1977 (the year “Rocky” was in theaters) and is serving his 43rd year of continuous service. He holds the rank of Call Captain and has the responsibility of supervising our members assigned to Station #2 in the north end of town.

Many of you know David as co-owner, along with his wife Cathy, of Chloe’s Countryside Kennels on Leonard Street. After 21 years of daily attention to their board­ers, Dave and Cathy recently sold their busi­ness to Paul and Becky Fry­singer. (Paul is a full-time Fire­fighter for the town.)

Capt. Makuch is an example of the experience level we bene­fit from. 

As a resi­dent and busi­ness owner in town he rarely fails to respond to a call regardless of the time of day.

Acushnet, meet David Makuch.
