Amboy Fire Department cod dinner fundraiser is March 20

Duane Dickson has spent more than 30 years as both a volunteer and a full-time firefighter, rising to the rank of chief in November 2024 at the Amboy Fire Department. Having experience makes a big difference on a fire department team, he said. "I read this once, and it's so true: Listen to your older firefighters," Dickison said. "They've been around and they know a lot of insights. Like when to ventilate a building, there's a right time and a wrong time, listen to them, they know, they've been there – and probably when someone did it wrong. Experience really does matter in this service. Listen to them, and ask questions. Ask, ask ask. There are no dumb questions."
