The Late Lieutenant Ron Allen
A bridge will be named in honor of a fallen Firefighter next week. The bridge spanning Reedy Meadow Swamp, located on NC 87, north of Dublin, will be detailed in the memory of the late Tar Heel Volunteer Firefighter, Lieutenant Ronald “Ron” P. Allen Junior.
Lieutenant Allen died in September of 2006 while serving the county by marking fire hydrants. Volunteering his time as a Certified Firefighter was not his only role. He was a beloved son, husband, father, dedicated community member, and Corrections Officer.
Next Tuesday, April 19, 2022, at 11 am at Tar Heel Fire Department, Lieutenant Allen, one of Bladen County’s fallen heroes, will be honored with a bridge naming ceremony.
