Ryan Feltes, of Morrill, has been named Nspire Today!’s Hometown Hero of the Week, sponsored by Schank Roofing in Scottsbluff.
Feltes is in his second year as a firefighter for the Scottsbluff Fire Department. Before that, he spent nine months working as a volunteer firefighter.
Feltes, a 2003 Scottsbluff High School graduate, is part of the Scottsbluff Fire Department’s dive team. He’s also a Hazmat technician, and he’s a rope rescue coordinator.
“It’s really gratifying giving back to the community I grew up in,” Feltes said.
The person who nominated Feltes said, “He always takes his job very seriously. He’s a hard worker, and you can tell that he really cares about everybody and wants to do everything he can to help.”
Nspire Today! and Schank Roofing say “thank you” to Feltes for his contributions in the community.
