DULUTH, Minn. – For 20 years, Jon Otis has risen the ranks of the fire department and now is officially the deputy chief.
Like many kids, Jon played with firetrucks but he didn’t exactly have the desire to be part of the fire department until a college assignment, where he had to write a paper about something he wanted to learn more about.
At the time, he had a roommate who was a wild land firefighter and another roommate who was going to Lake Superior College to be a structural firefighter, leading him to write about and end up pursuing a career in Duluth’s Fire Department.
