98.1 KHAK First Responder Friday Honors Riley Powers

Every Friday morning at 6:30 a.m., 98.1 KHAK's Brain & Courtlin pay tribute to an Eastern Iowa first responder during our 'First Responder Friday' segment! 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're honoring Riley Powers, who was nominated by Teirra Powers! The entry reads:

"Riley truly gives his all to the Central City Fire Department. He is always ready to drop whatever he is doing to serve his community, from late-night calls to hours spent in training, ensuring he is prepared for whatever the next call brings. His dedication to the department does not go unnoticed."

Congratulations to Riley! We thank you for your dedication and service to our community!
