Great Bend Fire Chief Luke McCormick spent a few moments introducing the fire department’s latest hires at Monday’s Great Bend City Council meeting.

The governing body welcomed Neslon Neuberger and Joel Mosqueda.

"We've hired both in the last three weeks," said McCormick. "They'll finish their four-week training this Friday. They'll be going on shift right before Christmas."

Neuberger comes from Herrington, Kansas and is currently commuting from Herrington. Mosqueda is from Great Bend and graduated from Great Bend High School last year.

McCormick said the fire department is currently short one staff member.
