It's been three months since 29-year-old Richard Garner collapsed suddenly and died. The Madison firefighter had finished his shift just hours before. The death was shocking, saddening, and left Station 10 with a void that is still felt today. Area firefighters and paramedics will honor Garner on Friday with the inaugural Richard Garner Memorial Ride, a charity ride through southern Wisconsin. Fire Fighters Local 311 has raised money through registration fees, sponsorships, and raffles to contribute to a scholarship fund in Garner's honor for students wanting to enter the fire service.
