VIDEO - There’s an unexpected update to a story from last week about a Burnsville firefighter. Bill D’Agostino retired Wednesday afternoon after 36 years on the job.
As we told you last week, he got a very special retirement gift from a longtime friend — Noah Hamm. It was a heartfelt thank you book, filled with photos of Noah visiting the Burnsville fire station since he was 6 years old in 2004. It started a bond and relationship so deep that Noah decided to become a firefighter himself. He’s now in college in Fairbanks, Alaska, and fighting fires full time. And Wednesday afternoon, it came full circle. After hearing about the lifelong bond that sparked years ago between Bill and Noah, Noah’s chief in Alaska flew him to Minnesota for the occasion.
