Longtime Highland Fire Chief William “Bill” Timmer was celebrated Saturday at the place where he spent most of his waking hours over the last three decades – from the cavernous bays at Fire Station 1. The memorial service was a merging of two families who loved the chief, his wife Bonnie, children and grandchildren alongside his frefighter, police and emergency medical services colleagues.
It was a ceremony punctuated by the pomp-and-circumstance fitting Highland's longest serving Fire Chief with representatives – and fire-fighting equipment – from every Lake County fire service represented.
Timmer died Aug. 14 at his home in Highland.
