AGENDA ITEM: FIREFIGHTER LAWRENCE SCHOMMER RETIREMENT PRESENTATION
INTRODUCTION: Larry started with the Fire Department on January 1st, 1988 as a FF/EMT. He
followed in the footsteps of his father, Don Schommer, who served with the Fire
Department for twenty plus years.
For several years, Larry was involved with the fire safety and prevention program
within the Fire Department during Fire Prevention Week and was the coordinator,
right up to his retirement, for the PLFD Fire Safety House which was used by
many Fire Departments around the greater metro area to promote fire safety. Larry
was also involved as a truck committee member for the construction of the
Department’s ladder truck.
Larry was a Fire Service mentor to many during his career and was always there
to lend a helping hand or to “set someone straight” if needed. The Fire Department
and the City of Prior Lake was lucky to have him and he will be missed.
Larry retired on January 31st, 2018 after 30 years of service with the Prior Lake
Fire Department.
