Hometown Hero of the Week

Hometown Hero of the Week: Brad Boswell, May 14th, 2025

Hometown Hero of the Week: Brad Boswell, May 14th, 2025

Our QDR Hometown Hero of the week is Brad Boswell, Fire Fighter for the Antioch Fire Department.

Brad was nominated by his daughter Taylor Boswell, who says, “Brad is a dedicated fireman and is someone everyone can look up too. He is always encouraging and lights up every room he walks into. Brad is my hero everyday not just for one week. I couldn’t ask for a better role model to look up too.” Brad has been serving the community for over 33 years in fire service.

Thank you, Brad, for your service! As a token of our appreciation, we’re sending you a $50 gift card to Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q to thank you for all you do.
