At the Panora EMS meeting on Thursday evening, Matt Harmann was honored with a wooden plaque to recognize his 25 years in the department. Harmann joined as a volunteer in 2000 and is now retiring from the department as an advanced emergency medical technician (AEMT). Harmann has had held officers positions and was instrumental in the hiring of the first paid paramedic in 2005.
“He was one of the few that ran call after call, putting his business and life aside to make sure we could keep growing and moving forward to continue to hire paid employees,” Panora EMS President Ryan Recker said. “A wooden plaque isn’t at all near enough to thank him for his years of selfless dedication to Panora EMS and this community. You can still find Matt being our fire chief, and, of course, you know him now as Sheriff Harmann.”
