VIDEO: The Superior Fire Department hosted a swearing in and awards ceremony Thursday afternoon.
The event was all about welcoming aboard new firefighters, celebrating promotions, and learning about the accomplishments firefighters have done this last year. It is a chance for fire crews to be in the spotlight and for the community to support the work that they do.
“The fire service in general right now you know there’s just a lot of turnover, retirements as well as a lot of other departments hiring firefighters. So, recruiting firefighters is very important for us. We always want to hire the best individuals that we can to our fire department. It’s an extremely important role in our community. We want to hire the best possible people,” said Superior Fire Chief Camron Vollbrecht.
