A long time firefighter in Pella is hanging up his hat after five decades of service. Former Pella Fire Chief Doug Van Gorkom is retiring at the end of this year, after stepping down from his leadership role this past January following 17 years of leading the Pella City and Rural Fire Departments. Van Gorkom is thankful to the many individuals he worked with over the years and that his goal was to always keep safety front of mind, especially in his 25 years as chief and assistant chief. Hear more from Van Gorkom about his retirement on today’s In Depth with Dr. Bob Leonard.
