A longtime member of the Muscatine Fire Department will be entering two decades of working his dream job next month. Andy Summitt, a second generation firefighter, starts his 20th year as a member of the Muscatine Fire Department in October.
Summitt, who has risen to the rank of captain, is currently in charge of operations and training for the department. He has certifications as a firefighter, critical care paramedic hazmat tech, fire/EMS instructor and confined space technician.
