<p class="ql-align-justify">In this episode, Duane Hagelgans shares his decades of experience in the fire service and his ongoing commitment to community safety. As Fire Commissioner for Blue Rock Fire Rescue—an organization he helped establish in 2011—Duane discusses the department’s role serving six miles of Manor Township and Millersville Borough, as well as the current campaign to build a new station for its dedicated volunteers. With an impressive 48-year career, including his retirement from Lancaster City in 2011, Duane offers valuable insights into leadership, emergency response, and the evolution of fire services. He also reflects on his work shaping future professionals as a professor and program coordinator of emergency management at Millersville University.</p><p></p><p>????
