This week’s Hometown Hero is Robert Dirk. Here’s the nomination that was submitted on Robert:
“Rob is a very dedicated volunteer of the
Horace fire and rescue squad. In fact he is the most dedicated volunteer I’ve
ever seen. Rob carries an EMT certification a firefighter 2 pro board
certification he is also a member of the Sheyenne valley technical rescue team.
These are all volunteer squads. He has dedicated countless hours to volunteer
and serve his community. He is always there when needed and carries a knowledge
and experience that surpasses most career firefighters and EMS personnel. As
his EMS chief I feel his dedication and loyalty to his community by far
qualifies him as a hero even though he will never acknowledge or take credit
for being a hero.”
