Dan Miller works in a big city, but he knows all about small-town life.
“I really like small-town Nebraska values,” Miller said.
That’s part of what drew him to the fire chief position in Columbus.
Miller grew up in rural Nebraska and still enjoys camping, fishing and hunting in his free time.
Although he’s worked for the Omaha Fire Department since 1998, serving as a captain, chief of training and special operations and battalion chief, Miller still resides in Yutan, where he got his start in firefighting.
