Green Bay fire chief Matthew Knott said cancer is one of the biggest issues firefighters are facing.
“Cancer is indeed a terrible disease, it’s something that is plaguing a lot of our firefighters, both current and retired, and something that we pledge to do everything we can to prevent moving forward,” said Knott.
Milwaukee chief Aaron Lipski said although the loss of these men is a tragedy, fire crews want the lights and Sunday’s gathering to symbolize a celebration of what they did and the lives they lived.
