Alpine Township Fire Department Lt. Brian Stalsonburg wants probationary firefighter Thomas Katerberg to know that the department has his family's back. "We are a tight family and we take care of our own, regardless of how long they have been with the department," Stalsonburg said. In this case, the department and other area departments are doing all they can for Katerberg and his new wife Katy as Thomas fights nonseminoma testicular cancer.
