2002’s Fireman of the Year is Jerry Kammerer of Leesburg Fire Department. “I think Leesburg is the best department in the county,” a tearful Kammerer said while accepting the award at the 58th Annual Kosciusko County Firemen’s Association fish fry. “I don’t know what else to say ... Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” Kammerer, a 35-year veteran who plans to retire in December, credits his uncle for his interest in firefighting. “I looked up to one man, my Uncle Chris. He was my motivator.”
