Celina firefighter retires after 25 years of service

Firefighter Chris Cline announced his retirement after 25 years of full-time service with the City of Celina.

In a post shared on social media, Cline reflected on a career filled with “great friends, lessons learned, and memories he’ll never forget.” He said he was proud to follow in his father’s footsteps — and even prouder to see his daughter and son-in-law continue the family tradition of public service.

Cline thanked his family, coworkers, and the citizens of Celina for their support through the years, calling it “an honor and a fulfilling career.”
