In Excelsior, Minnesota, a unique tradition thrives within the local fire department: ten father-son duos serve together, fostering a family-like atmosphere. With several generations dedicated to public service, this concentration of familial ties is believed to be the highest in Minnesota. The Foote family, known as The Yard, includes father Doug and his two sons, Haydn and Keegan. Dave Cole, the oldest reservist, describes his service as one of the most rewarding experiences of his life, made even more special by sharing it with his family. This ongoing legacy underscores a deep-rooted commitment to service.
