Two long-time Algoma Fire and Rescue volunteers were honored this past weekend for more than 25 years of service. Lynn Schiesser, an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), served with the department for over 30 years, and Firefighter/Engineer/EMS driver Don Daul was a 26-year veteran. Algoma Fire Chief Tom Ackerman says the commitment and dedication shown by the men over the years will be hard to replace.
Ackerman adds that the Algoma Fire and Rescue has about 45 volunteers, with 28 serving as firefighters, which is as low as he has seen in his 40 years with the department. Anyone interested in volunteering with Algoma Fire and Rescue can contact Ackerman through the City of Algoma email at afdchief@algomacity.org.
