In Uniform
It’s About The Service
vBy Linda Wuebben
What do most little boys want to do when they
grow up? Something exciting for sure like a being a
fireman.
But for Brad Moser, a native son of Yankton, it’s

under the fire chief and deputy chief, who are the
only full-time fire officials in Yankton.

the same block, he walks across the alley to the fire
station downtown. If the call comes after hours, he
lives only a couple blocks from Station Two on the
north end of town and he usually tries to be the first
at the station or even on site.
“When my wife and I first started looking for
a house, I only liked the houses which were just a
block or two from the station,” Moser said with a
smile. “Sure, I want to be the first one there, the first
