Excerpts from mystateline.com:

63-year-old Cherry Valley Fire Department Lt. Neal Johnson was struck while directing traffic on Newburg Road bridge Wednesday night as the Vets Roll convoy approached on I-90 at about 9:30 p.m.

The Vets Roll caravan was on one lane of the bridge, leaving the second lane open for normal traffic. Lt. Johnson was stopping the traffic on his side of the bridge when a van hit him. He was wearing a reflective safety vest at the time.

Lt. Johnson was taken to the hospital for several bone fractures, considered non-life threatening injuries. Johnson has been with the department since August 1988. The incident remains under investigation.

Vets Roll took 200 veterans from WWII and the Korean War Era by bus convoy to Washington D.C. to visit memorial locations.

Excerpts from WIFR.com:

 Cherry Valley Fire Chief Craig Wilt is calling it a career after 44 years with the department.

The 62-year-old has lived in Cherry Valley his whole life, serving not only half a century as a firefighter with the village but also a quarter century as a village police officer.

Thursday, Chief Wilt got to celebrate with the community at a retirement open house at the Cherry Valley Fire Station.

“I don’t know if it’s really sunk in yet. Still trying to learn how to relax. I’m still wound a little tight. Still get up around 5 o’clock every morning and I expect in due time that will start keying down a bit,” says Wilt.

Wilt followed in the footsteps of his father who served as a volunteer firefighter for 48 years. He tells us the biggest event of his career was the 2009 Canadian National Train Derailment and chemical fire.
