Fritjof Engebretson has served the City of Bloomington for more than three years, first part-time, and full-time since April 2024. He enjoys ongoing training in fire suppression, search and rescue, and medical response as an EMT.
“I have a strong passion for helping others, whether it’s a medical or fire emergency,” Fritjof said. “The structure and teamwork in the fire service remind me of the military.”
His family, friends and loved ones are proud of his career choice and are constant supporters, even understanding the demanding and challenging 24-hour shifts that he works.
Off duty, Fritjof enjoys time with loved ones (often around good food) and stays active with hiking, camping, snowboarding, sports and walking his dogs, Brizzy and Blue.
