I retired in 1995 and a year later became a volunteer firefighter with
the German Township Volunteer Fire Department in northern Vanderburgh
County. I served as a firefighter and first responder. Because the fire
department is in a bedroom community most of the daytime calls were made
by retires, shift workers or students.
We trained every Monday night from 6:30pm until we finished which
sometimes was after 10pm. I enjoyed the comradeship and even though I
was the oldest person on the department they did not cut me any slack.
In 2012 I retired from active duty but still help out with non-emergency
things.
Some pictures of me in action!
