In 1931 the first member of the Munday family became a firefighter in Fairfax.  Charles “Ashby” Munday, Sr. joined the Fairfax Volunteer Fire Department shortly after moving to the Fairfax area.  Two of his sons would follow in his foot steps and join the department, Charlie Munday and Eddie Munday.  They are both life members of the Fairfax Volunteer Fire Department. 

The third generation of the Munday family became a member of the Fairfax Volunteer Fire Department in the early 80s and was hired as a career firefighter for the City of Fairfax in 1985.  Adrian Munday is currently a Battalion Chief assigned to “B” shift.

On Father’s Day of this year, Wade Munday became the fourth generation of the Munday family to serve as a firefighter in Fairfax.  After completing the Operational Minimum Staffing Program his first work day as a City of Fairfax Fire Department Summer Hire was on June 15, 2008.  He will work on “C” shift through the summer and then return to Eastern Kentucky University to continue his work on a bachelor’s degree in the fall.
