This week’s Kids in the Community spotlight is on Justice Kemmerer! She was honored as Junior Firefighter of the Year during a recent DuBois City Council meeting. The award was started in honor of Melanie Weaver, an influential member of the DuBois Volunteer Fire Department who passed away in November. Weaver also worked as a medic with local ambulance services and was a fire training officer in DuBois.
The recipient of the Melanie Weaver Junior Firefighter of the Year “has exceeded requirements both scholastically and to the DuBois Volunteer Fire Department.”
Kemmerer is a girl junior firefighter with Fourth Ward Hose Company. Hear her interview below!
