‘I like being there for people who need help’

Tim Grubbs’ childhood dream was to someday be part of the Banner County Volunteer Fire Department, just like his mom and dad. The 1995 Banner County High School graduate accomplished that dream 25 years ago, and these days, as the department’s fire chief, he still enjoys doing everything he can to help people.

HARRISBURG – Growing up, Tim Grubbs always wanted to follow in his parents’ footsteps.

His dad, Gary Grubbs, spent years as an EMT, fireman, and fire chief for the Banner County Volunteer Fire Department. Tim’s mom, Sharon, also was a longtime member of the volunteer fire department, working as an EMT.

“I saw how involved my parents were with the volunteer fire department and how much they enjoyed helping people,” Tim said. “It was always my dream to someday become a fireman, too.”
