City brings firefighter training home

When Timothy Stevens was growing up, he loved the idea of being a firefighter. He used to watch “Station 51” on television. His father volunteered for the department in Throop.

And now those childhood fantasies have become his real life. Stevens, 37, will begin working this week as a fully certified firefighter with the Auburn Fire Department.

“It's a dream job, it really is,” Stevens said. “It is a humbling experience to watch what these guys do every day,”
