Helping one of their own

They weren’t just members of fire departments, Ed Rogers calls them his brothers and sisters. And, they showed up at his home yesterday to help prep his home for winter. People making up the Utica, LaSalle, Peru, Mendota and Oglesby fire departments showed up at Roger’s home to perform necessary tasks before winter. Rogers fractured his leg in Missouri in mid-October. Those helping included Utica’s fire chief, 25-year old Ben Brown. Rogers is a member of the Utica fire department.
