FIRE CHIEF
Fair Bluff's Butch Meares dies Tuesday

By DEUCE NIVEN

         Ellis Devine “Butch” Meares Jr. of Fair Bluff, believed to be Columbus County’s longest serving fire chief ever, died Tuesday evening at Loris Community Hospital after a long illness.
          He was 72.
          Funeral services for Meares will be announced by Meares Funeral Home of Fair Bluff. He is survived by his wife, Connie, and a large extended family.
          Family, both blood and those bonded by their fire and rescue service, accompanied the long-serving chief in a long procession from the hospital in Loris to the funeral home in Fair Bluff Tuesday night.
         The procession, several dozen vehicles including fire trucks and ambulances – one with Meares body, accompanied by his wife – passed through Tabor City just after 10 p.m.
         Members of the Tabor City Fire Department and Cerro Gordo Fire and Rescue were waiting at the funeral home when the procession arrived, and were at attention as Meares’ body was taken into the building.
