He was also an instructor who taught in more than 300 fire departments state-wide.
“There may be some that could equal but there are none that are better at training firefighters to understand fire behavior, fire dynamics, and firefighter safety,” said Maple Grove Fire Chief Tim Bush.
Slimmer personally thanked each of the Maple Grove City Council members and the mayor for their commitment to fire service in the city of Maple Grove.
