Our thoughts are with the members of the Eau Claire Fire and Rescue Department, the firefighter's family and loved ones, and the entire Eau Claire community as they mourn this tragic loss.

We are reminded of the sacrifices made every day by all first responders who answer the call to serve others. Please keep everyone affected in your thoughts during this difficult time.
