City of Orange Beach issued the following announcement on March 31.
It is with a heavy heart that we inform the community of the passing of our former Orange Beach Fire Chief, Mickey Robinson, early this morning – Thursday, March 31, 2022. He was the city’s first fire chief.
“Mickey” as he was affectionately called was a beloved member of the Orange Beach Fire Department family and was often seen around the stations after his retirement to catch up with everyone and share a cup of coffee.
He started his career in the fire service with Birmingham Fire Department in 1969 before moving to Orange Beach and obtaining the position of Fire Chief (or as he often referred to it as “Head Honcho”) in 1992. He retired in May of 2004 after 35 years in the fire service. He embodied the fire department’s mission statement to provide the best protection and service possible with pride, honor, and integrity even after his retirement.
The City of Orange Beach would like to extend our deepest condolences to Chief Robinson’s family during this time of loss. He will be missed by many.
