Marshall Council OKs New Firefighter Position
Marshall City Council approved creating a firefighter position for the Marshall Fire Department pending a FEMA SAFER grant notification to fund two years. The department, with six full-time firefighters and Chief Bob Kiessling, faced nine shifts with one on duty from July 12 to Aug. 2 due to injuries and surgeries. The decision passed 5-2 as Kiessling noted overtime strains and staffing challenges.
