This month marks firefighter Jesse Kietzke's 3rd anniversary with FDMH! As you can see from her adorable snapshot (pictured with brother Lt. Ben Kietzke, FDMH firefighter, and father Ken Kietzke, FDMH firefighter), she's been moving hoselines much longer. Read why it's all in the family for Kietzke, and help us celebrate her dedication.
"FDMH has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with both of my parents serving as volunteer firefighters, the department was always a constant in our family. After graduating college and moving back to Mt. Horeb, joining the department felt like coming home.
Today, I proudly serve with both the Mt. Horeb Fire Department and the Barneveld-Brigham Fire Department. Outside of the station, you can usually find me at work, at the gym, or spending time with family and friends. I work as a construction project manager for a general contractor in Mt. Horeb.
One of my favorite parts of being a firefighter is the opportunity to serve my community while continuing to challenge myself and grow. I also have the privilege of serving alongside my dad, Ken, my brother, Ben, my fiancΓ©, Brian, and my soon-to-be sister-in-law, Maddi.
The Kietzke name has long been a part of FDMH, and Iβm proud to continue that tradition."π
