As the former Marshall Fire Chief, I’ve witnessed firsthand the escalating crisis in the Minnesota fire service one that is costing firefighters their lives. The high incidence of illness particularly cardiac, cancer and mental health challenges is alarming and requires an immediate response. In January 2020, Howard Lake Fire Chief Daryl “Taddy” Drusch died of a heart attack just hours after responding to an emergency call. Fridley Fire Chief Mike Spencer also died from a cardiac line of duty-death in September 2020. Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of firefighters nationwide and is by far the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths in the fire service. According to the International Association of Firefighters, more than 12 percent of all firefighters will develop heart disease at some point in their lives.

The estimated lost was between $75,000 and $100,000. The buildings that were completely destroyed were: F.S. Purdy store building; Zvorak & Works Restaurant building; Zvorak and Burckhardt building, occupied by Harry Musch’s plumbing and tinning shop; Zvorak Ice House; B.G. Henrichs Machine and Blacksmith Shop; and F.E. Munson Store building. The Russell State Bank and the City Drug Store were badly damaged. The fire spread rapidly and was not checked until it reached the new brick building of the Russell State Bank, which was badly smoked and scorched by the flames.
