🚒 Congratulations on Your Retirement from the Inwood Fire Department, Mike Knobloch! 🚒

The City of Inwood would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Mike on his retirement from the Inwood Fire Department after an incredible 48 years of service.

Mike began serving our community as a firefighter in 1978 and was Fire Chief for 23 years. During his tenure, Mike served out of all four different fire stations the City of Inwood has had over the years.

Pictured here in 1989, from left to right:
Mike Knobloch (Captain), Dick Schemmel (Assistant Chief), and Herb Hage (Chief).

Mike has shared that one of the most difficult moments of his career as a firefighter involved the loss of life. When asked what some of the most memorable moments have been, Mike doesn’t hesitate to say the July 3rd events, which he fondly calls “fun work.”

On behalf of the City of Inwood and our entire community, thank you, Mike, for your decades of dedication, service, and leadership!

👏 Please join us in congratulating Mike and wishing him the very best in his well-earned retirement!
