BRILLION, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The Brillion Fire Department hosted a fundraiser on Monday night to honor Jacob Glasow, a Reedsville volunteer firefighter that was diagnosed with ALS.
The fire department attempted to raise money for Glasow and his family by leaving boots at several area businesses.
“We work very closely with Reedsville, and a lot of guys on their department as well as my department are great friends outside of just the fire departments — but the brotherhood, this is completely what it’s all about,” Brillion Fire Chief Joe Diener told Fox 11 News.
15 members of the Brillion Fire Department also had their heads and beards shaved last night during the fundraiser.
Chief Diener even had his hair died yellow to match the color of Reedsville fire trucks.
