Lohse was hired at the department as a firefighter and paramedic in 1998, was promoted to lieutenant in 2008, and captain a year later. He began as a volunteer firefighter for the Franklin Grove Fire Protection District in 1991. He’s currently the training officer for the Amboy Fire Protection District and previously served as a field staff instructor for the Illinois Fire Service Institute.
