Two longtime volunteer firefighters who have each given more than 50 years of service to the Boone County Fire Protection District received loud ovations during Saturday’s Harrisburg Septemberfest parade.
The firefighters are John Timmermann and Loren Mueller, and they smiled as they rode atop Truman’s taxi. Both men tell 939 the Eagle that it’s an honor. Both men have each been volunteering for more than 50 years each at fire station four in Harrisburg. First Responder Support (FRS) executive director Rick Rowden tells 939 the Eagle that FRS is incredibly grateful to Harrisburg Septemberfest for honoring the firefighters.
