Shepherd has been involved in fire protection and prevention at Snow College since 1975, and was the last original member of the fire marshals group that was put together when he first became a member. "Mont was the key member of the Snow College organization who really initiated the centralized fire alarm system on campus," said Bob Oliver, supervisor of custodial services. "It came about mainly because Mont saw a need for it and was persistent in working towards it. That was definitely a very important contribution Mont made to the school as a fire marshal." "We didnt have a system in place at the time," said Shepherd. "We are really very lucky nothing happened until we had the whole thing in place. It was something I worked on for years and I was glad to see it completed." The system took about five years and $500,000 to complete and now every building on campus is hooked to the system." Shepherd was presented a plaque by John Elder and Marguerite Sidwell of the states campus fire marshals during the Cedar City seminar. H 4-- H H 3.
