Buck Dozier has been involved with Box 55 for over 25 years.. He is a former Nashville Fire Department Director Chief in which he had many dealings with Box 55. After his departure from the Nashville Fire Department, he rejoined Box 55 as a volunteer. He also is a former Davidson County Councilmember, Youth/Family Church Director, Nashville Fairground Director and a very well respected Coach and School Teacher. His primary purpose of participating in Box 55 is to "serve in a area of great interest to him and it keeps him close to the First Responders that have been a part of his life". You will still see him driving Rehab 55 monthly responding to calls to serve. In his very little spare time, he enjoys Reading, Speaking at events, Golfing and most of all spending time with his Grandkids. You will see him at the ball field every time they are playing sports.

After moving to Nashville, he became involved with Box 55 and has served in many roles of our association. He also has served as the Regional Vice President and currently as the President of the International Fire Buff Association which includes Fire Buff organizations all over the US and Canada. His purpose of these commitments is to "give back to those that make many sacrifices for all of us". His desire for Box 55 it that the legacy continues as it has for so many years, recruiting and mentoring new members. Besides his Fire interest, Rick is a successful businessman, a leader at his Church and Grandpa to 7 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.
