98.1 KHAK First Responder Friday Honors Michael Carl

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 Michael Carl, who was nominated by Nathan Greiner! The entry reads:

"Michael is a very dedicated volunteer for our small community. He's been on the Keota Fire Department for 14 years, and he's the EMS Officer for the Keota QRS. He has also spent a lot of time offering classes for anyone in the community that wants to become CPR certified. He has spent countless hours in the field for QRS and fire calls."

Congratulations to Michael! We thank him for his service and dedication to our community!
