Sheldon, IA (Northwestiowanow.com) — Volunteer firefighters are the backbone of fire protection in most Iowa communities, including Sheldon. These dedicated individuals not only respond to emergencies at a moment’s notice, but also undergo constant training and equipment maintenance, all while being on call 24/7.
One such volunteer, Dennis Kruger, was recently honored for his incredible commitment to the Sheldon Fire Department. Kruger has dedicated forty years of service to the department, exemplifying the selflessness and dedication that is required of volunteer firefighters.
Former Fire Chief Brad Hindt recognized Kruger’s long-standing service with a special award, highlighting the fact that once individuals make the commitment to serve their community in this way, they often end up spending most of their lives with the fire department.
Kruger’s dedication serves as a reminder of the vital role that volunteer firefighters play in keeping our communities safe, and his forty years of service is a testament to his unwavering commitment to the residents of Sheldon.
