Hampton Fire Rescue

After 28 years of dedicated service, leadership, and commitment to our community, we had the privilege of celebrating Fire Chief Mike Raeburn's retirement on Saturday evening. Mike officially retired from Hampton Fire Rescue in December 2025, leaving behind a legacy that has helped shape our department for generations to come.

Thank you, Chief Raeburn, for your unwavering dedication, mentorship, and the countless hours you devoted to serving the residents of Hampton. Your impact on this department and community will not be forgotten.

A very special thank you also goes to Patty. Behind every dedicated firefighter is a family who shares in the sacrifices, long nights, missed holidays, and commitment to service. Patty's support throughout Mike's 28-year career played an important role in making that service possible.

Please join us in congratulating Mike on a well-earned retirement and wishing both Mike and Patty all the very best as they begin this exciting new chapter together
