A member of Branson Fire Rescue was honored Wednesday, Jan. 4, at a retirement ceremony held at Fire Station No. 2.

Fire Marshal Dennis Brunner served with the Branson Fire Rescue for 22 years.

“It seems like just a few, short years ago we were sitting in the final chief interview for a job as a firefighter and I remember Chief Sparks saying ‘If you don’t get it this time, what are you going to do?’,” Fire Chief Ted Martin said at the ceremony. “It was a very special moment because you said you would just try again and try again until you were hired.”
