❤️ A HEARTFELT THANK YOU from the WFEM BOARD

The Wisconsin Fire & EMS Memorial would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who gave their time on Saturday, August 22, for Family Display Day.

Family Display Day is an important part of our mission. It takes time, preparation, teamwork, and most importantly, a willingness to be there for the families of our fallen first responders.

The group spent the day helping families carefully transition displays, welcoming new LODD families, assisting with setting up memorial displays, and simply being present to listen, support, and remember.

Your dedication helps make the Wisconsin Fire & EMS Memorial more than a place, it makes it a community of remembrance, support, and compassion.

Thank you for giving your time, your hearts, and your continued commitment to WFEM and the families we serve.

Your volunteer service helps ensure that the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice are never forgotten, and that their families always know they have a place within the Wisconsin fire and EMS family.

❤️ Together, we remember.
🎖️Together, we honor.
🚒 Together, we preserve their legacy.

🥾 FILL THE BOOT FOR MDA! 🚒

It’s that time of year again! Across Wisconsin, you’ll see professional firefighters out in their communities Filling the Boot for MDA.

For generations, firefighters have proudly stood alongside the Muscular Dystrophy Association to help support individuals and families living with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related neuromuscular diseases.

When you see our firefighters with a boot in hand, consider dropping in a donation. Every dollar makes a difference.

📸 We want to see your Local in action!
Share photos of your Local Filling the Boot in the comments below and help us showcase firefighters across Wisconsin supporting MDA and their communities.

Thank you, Wisconsin, for continuing to support this incredible tradition! ❤️🥾
