CELINA - Celina Fire Chief Doug Wolters has retired, ending a nearly four-decade career that thrust the St. Sebastian area native into the heart of raging infernos, at least one close brush with death and countless squad runs.
All told, Wolters put in 33 years with the Celina Fire Department, including 13-and-a-half years as chief. He also volunteered with the Montezuma Fire Department and Coldwater Emergency Medical Services. [More]
