Proud to Serve: Berkeley Firefighter and Paramedic receives $500 for years of service

ST. LOUIS – Each month on FOX 2, we proudly salute local first responders, military personnel, and veterans who go above and beyond in service to their communities. This month, we shine the spotlight on Nick Meisenheimer, a dedicated firefighter and paramedic with the Berkeley Fire Department in Berkeley, Missouri. Nick's commitment to his community extends far beyond emergency response. As a member of the Community Outreach Board, he works tirelessly to connect with residents and ensure they feel supported and informed. Whether he's responding to calls or engaging with neighbors through outreach initiatives, Nick exemplifies what it means to serve with heart and purpose. Thank you, Nick, for your bravery, compassion, and unwavering dedication. We're proud to recognize you as this month's Proud to Serve honoree. Nick was nominated by his wife who tells us Nick is so selfless. He is on the community outreach board at the Berkeley fire department, and helped organize a coat drive for the students in the Berkeley community who may otherwise not have a warm coat. He spent countless hours shopping around the area for coats, and coordinated the organization and delivery. On top of that, during the holiday season he worked with local organizations or their local offices like Amazon, Clayco, SSM, Boys to Mentors, and more to coordinate a Christmas with toys and clothes for three individual families who lost their homes in the city of Berkeley in December before Christmas. He continues to focus on providing the citizens of Berkeley with help, and most recently has been working to help find reliable housing for a family with a disabled child after they lost their home in a fire. Day in and day out, he gets up and serves his community willingly. Nick Meisenheimer receives $500 from Brown & Brown Law Firm and FOX 2's Proud to Serve Award.
