Batavia firefighter sworn in social-distancing style
Batavia's newest probationary full-time firefighter, Dan Johnston, started the position by being sworn in social-distancing style.
Mayor Jeff Schielke visited the fire station to administer the oath to Johnston, who has been a paid on-call firefighter and a paramedic for Tri-City Ambulance, according to a Facebook post by the fire department.
Schielke and Johnston kept their distance during the oath and ended with a salute, rather than a traditional handshake.
