In 1955, two brothers from Baden, Ernie and Dick Riess, got together with others and founded the Baden Volunteer Fire Department

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of our “Founding Members” Ernie Riess.

Ernie was one of our last two remaining members that were present when the Department was founded in 1955.

He will certainly be missed.

Funeral details will be posted when they become available.
