Flags across the state will be flown at half-staff this weekend in honor of Wisconsin Firefighters Memorial Day.
Gov. Tony Evers ordered flags to be flown at half-staff on Saturday as party of Fire Prevention Week that also ends Saturday.
“Wisconsin firefighters exemplify the best our state has to offer, putting their health and safety on the line to take care of their neighbors and serve their communities,” said Gov. Evers. “From fire prevention education to emergency response, we are grateful for their service. On Saturday, we honor and remember the fallen heroes who are no longer with us and share our deepest condolences with their families, friends, colleagues, and loved ones. The legacy of their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.”
