Local firefighters honor those who have died in the line of duty

Sunday afternoon in Wichita, firefighters from all over Kansas gathered to honor and remember those firefighters who have died in the line of duty.

This was all part of the 18th “Kansas Fallen Firefighters Memorial” that took place at the Kansas Firefighter Museum.

Names of men and women who have died since the 1800’s have been added to a wall. The most recent name added was of a firefighter from Wamego who died in the line of duty. His name is now the 125th name added to the wall.
