Herman Fire and Rescue hosts annual pancake feed

Amie Clausen, Contributor On Nov. 8, the Herman Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department hosted its annual pancake feed. The annual pancake feed is a fundraiser for the rescue squad. They need supplies to keep the rescue squad stocked and ready for the next emergency. Unfortunately, medical supplies are expensive, and the EMTs responding to the call need these supplies to handle the emergency at hand. They work hard to keep the supplies that are needed for these emergencies. At 10 a.m. Sunday, the members of the department had served over 100 people, getting very close to the goal of 175 with two hours left to meet the goal. Herman Fire Department is doing wonderfully with the membership, as it now has 11 EMTs and one paramedic ready to answer the call. The Herman Volunteer Fire and Rescue supports the village of Herman, which has a population of about 360 residents, and a very large rural district around Herman. They also offer mutual aid to departments in Washington and Burt counties.
