Over 80 firefighters, EMTs, and guests honored two longtime Luxemburg Community Fire Department staff members this past weekend. 

Lieutenant Dan Gilson, who recently retired, and Ann Paider accepted awards on behalf of their over 60 years of service to the Luxemburg community.

Fire Chief Lew DuChateau says Gilson started his schooling at the same time as he did 33 years ago and was a great firefighter and engineer for the department.

DuChateau notes Paider has performed the EMS billing services for the Luxemburg Community Fire Department since 1994 and will retire this spring.

The Luxemburg Community Fire Department is currently looking for additional daytime help. You can contact DuChateau for more information on obtaining the 60-hour entry-level schooling needed to become a full-time firefighter in the state.
