VIDEO: Driving around Beloit this weekend, you may notice hundreds of American flags lining the streets.
Mark Finnegan said there were about 900 banners to cover the processional route for former Beloit Fire Chief Brad Liggett.
“We thought, ‘Let’s just line the route like a hall of honor as a salute to him for all he did for so many of us,’” Finnegan said.
The Central Christian Church was open Friday for public visitation, ahead of the funeral service on Saturday. Liggett died unexpectedly last weekend. He served the Freeport, Illinois Fire Department since July of 2019, after serving the City of Beloit’s Fire Department for 30 years and as chief for 16 years.
