Hometown Hero of the Week

Hometown Hero of the Week: Bruce Rose, May 7th, 2025
Our QDR Hometown Hero of the week is Bruce Rose, Volunteer firefighter for the Grantham Volunteer Fire Department.
Bruce was nominated by Andrew Johnson, who says, “Bruce is a dedicated member of the Grantham Volunteer Fire Dept and is always willing to help someone in need when the need arises. Just recently, we went out to eat together at a local restaurant, and I began choking on a piece of food. He quickly sprung into action and performed the Heimlich maneuver and saved my life. Bruce currently serves as a lieutenant with the Grantham Volunteer Fire Dept and does an awesome job any time there’s a call for service. Bruce currently resides in the Grantham community with his girlfriend Hannah Hubbard and operates a farm raising cattle and poultry.”
Thank you, Bruce, 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.
