The Spicer Fire Department has 25 paid-on-call firefighters. The firefighters primary jobs range everywhere from construction trades, legal, accounting, mechanical, managerial and more!

We'd like to highlight Spicer Firefighter Nate Johnson (orange helmet, second from right) who works for MnDOT. Nate is trained as a wildland firefighter with MnDOT and has been deployed by them to Northern MN to help the MnDNR with the wildfires.

Thanks, Nate! Be safe!
