Family: Parents John and Deb VanCoillie
Future: VanCoillie will attend Lake Superior State University in the fall to study fire science. He’s been with the Albert Township Fire Dept. cadet program since he was 16.

Since he was a young boy, John knew he wanted to be a firefighter. His father is Albert Township fire chief and the younger VanCoillie says when the scanner goes off, he beats his father out the door.
