Post Messenger Recorder -

On Saturday, October 5, 2019, Herman Pfund was laid to rest. Members of the New Glarus Fire Department, along with the Fitchburg Fire Department Honor Guard, paid tribute to Pfund with a salute and a procession that escorted him to the cemetery on Hwy 92. Pfund's last ride was in an antique fire truck. He had been a member of Fitchburg Fire Department and was the department's first chief. He had also been a member of the New Glarus Fire Department for many years, and until recently he could often be found making coffee and cinnamon rolls for firefighters out on calls.
