Tanner Malone, a very special 17 year-old Alexandria boy, was honored by the Alexandria Volunteer Fire Department on Jan. 28 by naming him an honorary member along with giving him a ride around town in one of the city’s fire engines. Alexandria Fire Chief Brian Partridge also presented Tanner with a plaque and t-shirt. The son of Shannon and Julie Malone, Tanner was born with a very rare genetic disorder and has undergone several surgeries and treatments for his condition.
