COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) — A longtime Columbus firefighter is retiring.

Assistant Chief Mark Ward clocked out for the last time Thursday, and is going out in style.

His fellow firemen drove him home in a fire truck.

Ward worked for the Columbus fire department for nearly 29 years.

He plans to spend his free time at home, and working part time at a hardware store.
