Chief Drew Schumacher’s desk at the Mt. Pleasant Fire Department is mostly bare, except for a few scraps of paper and a framed black-and-white photo of him as a kindergartner staring up in awe at the chief of the Mt. Pleasant Fire Department. “I just carried that with me,” Schumacher said as he beamed at the photo. “I don’t know what it is about the department. It burns inside of me. Until it doesn’t, I’ll still be here.” Schumacher’s drive to become a firefighter stems from that childhood dream, caught in a picture-perfect moment. “One day, I could be a fireman, and then the big expectation: One day, I could be fire chief,” Schumacher said. “Every little kid wants to be fire chief. I’m just blessed I get this opportunity to serve the community.”
