98.1 KHAK First Responder Friday Honors Aaric Rust

Each Friday morning at 6:30 a.m., 98.1 KHAK's Brain & Courtlin pay tribute to an Eastern Iowa first responder. The weekly honoree receives a $25 gift card to Wild Hogs Saloon and Eatery in Walford and a $25 gift card to Honor and Respect.

Today we honor Aaric Rust, who was nominated by Morgan Rust! The entry reads:

"Aaric has been on the Norway Fire Department since he was 18. He was Assistant Chief, and has now been Chief of the department for the last 3 years. Aaric has always been one to help out anyone in need and help serve the community. We are all so proud of his hard work and dedication!"
