Meet Our Very Own “Batman”
Adding a delightful twist to our holiday story, our main contact at the fire department is none other than Bruce Wayne Stender—affectionately nicknamed “Batman” by his colleagues. Residing in Bat Cave, NC, Bruce Wayne’s name and hometown add a touch of magic and mirth, reminding us that heroes come in all forms and sometimes have the most fitting names!
