98.1 KHAK First Responder Friday Salutes Mindy Fisher
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 Mindy Fisher, who was nominated by Justin Bierschenk! The entry reads:
"Mindy is super hard working. She is the service director at Blairstown Ambulance, as well as a paramedic. She is very compassionate and devoted! She is like a mother to us all on the crew at Blairstown Ambulance."

Our First Responder Friday winners are selected from nominations submitted by you! You can make a nomination below.
