Unfortunately, ... there was 1 first responder, a firefighter, who died in the line of duty in the last week. The fallen police firefighter was Donny Lepper, a 23-year veteran of the Indianola volunteer fire department. He collapsed and died at home unexpectedly the morning after responding to a grass fire.
We honor and thank these patriots for serving and protecting their communities.
