VIDEO/PHOTOS: According to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, 5,500 people in Wisconsin will be diagnosed with breast cancer just this year.
For that reason, many organizations band together in October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, to help battle the disease.
Every two years, Milwaukee Fire Department sells t-shirts to benefit Susan G. Komen and the fight against breast cancer.
"They don't just fight fires. They fight breast cancer," said Nikki Panico, executive director of Susan G. Komen Wisconsin.
This year they held a contest within the department to create the design.
Milwaukee Fire Lieutenant Jeff Freitag and Cadet Akai Mehling won the design contest.
"It's all about the action, research, community, and care that we have for Susan G. Komen," Freitag said, reading the 4 words displayed on the front of the shirt.
