Fire to Ice: Local Firefighter Uses Bobcat Skid-Steer Loaders to Earn Big-Box Snow Removal Contracts

Scott Alff, 44, constantly puts himself on the line. As a full-time firefighter at a local fire department, he doesn’t know what each day will bring, but he makes it his mission to protect the lives, property and environment of his community. 

“When that alarm goes off inside the station, you don’t really know what to expect,” Alff says. “But it’s our job to make sure our community and its residents are safe.” 

Alff continues to make a difference during his days off. He owns Alff Construction, a snow removal and landscape company in Bellevue, Nebraska, a suburb of Omaha, that he intends to pass along to his son, Austin. 

“My son was a junior in high school at the time I started Alff Construction,” Alff says. “I told him if he went to college and got his degree, I would give him half of my business as a reward and then eventually all of it. We are about two years into the transition process, so in six years he will take over as owner.”
