Captain
Billy “Shakey” Holder is hanging up his fire helmet. His fellow
firefighters believe he's the nation's longest-serving active
firefighter. He's retiring from the Irving Fire Department in suburban
Dallas. At age 77, Holder's put in 56 years of service. Holder say he
wants “to leave on top and in good health.” He got the nickname Shakey
as a young firefighter, when he nervously bumped into a firehouse
refrigerator and knocked down pots and pans. The station's newest fire
engine is named “Shakey” in Holder's honor.
