August 13th marks a somber anniversary for the Green Bay Metro Fire Department.
Fourteen years ago, Lieutenant Arnie Wolff died fighting a house fire on Edgewood Drive.
As the anniversary of his death approaches, one of the few remaining firefighters who responded that day is talking about the importance of honoring his legacy.
Lt. Arnie Wolff's name adorns every rig in the fire department's fleet, including the very engine now Operations Assistant Chief Rob Goplin was riding that day. His crew was assigned to the backup line behind Wolff and Firefighter Jo Brinkley-Chaudoir.
"I remember the fire just suddenly blowing out a window next to us and going right over the top of our heads at the doorway," says Goplin.
