Herman firefighters honor former chief with memorial T-shirts

Amie Clausen, Contributor The members of the Herman Volunteer Fire Department have decided to honor a past member and fire chief with a memorial T-shirt. The John Tyson Memorial T-shirts are selling for $20 each. The volunteer members of the Herman Fire and Rescue Department need gear to respond to emergencies and even everyday happenings around the village of Herman; these funds will help with getting the gear needed. They chose to raise funds to get the gear needed for members by remembering John, who supported every member of this department until the very end. John Tyson passed away in August 2026 from cancer and was a member of the Herman Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department for over 35 years, with 20 of those years serving as the fire chief. If you wish to join in the efforts to support the Herman Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department, please reach out to current Fire Chief Justin Meyer at [email protected].
