Lincoln Fire Inspector Tim Aper and Chief Mark Miller have some fun with the LDN reporter’s recorder. In the mock interview, Aper holds the recorder while Miller explains how he came to have the nickname of “Milo.” It was also brought up that anytime a Lincoln city firefighter’s picture makes it into Lincoln Daily News, he owes a meal to his shift. Aper is featured in today’s firehouse news as this month’s “meet your firefighter.”
