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 Ben Tarvin, who was nominated by Jena Tarvin! The entry reads:

"Ben grew up in the fire service and learned from his dad. He has been on a couple different volunteer fire departments, while serving the Norway Fire Department for the last several years. Ben is often the first one to show up for a call and last one to go home. He strives to make the department a better place. While serving as the Training Officer, he advocates for safety and learning. He truly wants what is best for the department and the patrons they serve."
