The Kewaunee Fire Department will have big shoes to fill in the future as Assistant Chief Paul Nimmer has resigned from the Kewaunee Fire Department after 35 years of service. Nimmer, known informally as Big Nim by his friends, says his firefighting career started with being asked to play softball by Orville Shultz. He says the only way he could join the team was if he became a member of the Kewaunee Fire Department.
Nimmer has served as a captain and the assistant fire chief as a Kewaunee Firefighter. He says he will keep busy in retirement this summer, cutting lawns and working in mini-landscaping in the area while volunteering with his church and Kewaunee youth sports.
