Who was that masked fire chief? A smiling Lincoln Police Chief Ken Greenslate and Lincoln Alderwoman Joni Tibbs seem to know. The unidentified fire chief asked if there was some way we could give him a mask so he wouldn't be identified by his firemen, and we were happy to oblige. Although we won't say who this masked man was, we will tell you there is an ongoing pledge that whenever the Lincoln fire chief gets his picture in LDN and it is pointed out by a firefighter, he has to buy the shift lunch.  Picture by Mike Fak  (Click on picture for larger image.)
