OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) – The Oshkosh Fire Department unveiled their new Wall of Honor on Wednesday.
The Wall of Honor shares the names of the department’s veterans, firefighters who lost their lives on 9/11, and three Oshkosh firefighters who died in the line of duty.
Oshkosh Battalion Chief, Drew Jaeger, said the wall is in the area where firefighters live; and is something they will see everyday.
“It reminds us of the sacrifices of those who came before us, and reminds us of those circumstances that lead to their death,” said Jaeger. “Those are things we can learn from and try to avoid those dangerous situations.”
Funding from the project came from private individuals and businesses, local veteran groups, and Oshkosh Firefighters Local 316.
