1996
On April 16, 1996, the Governor Tommy G.Thompson signed into law legislation designating Wisconsin Rapids as the site of the Wisconsin State Firefighters Memorial.
The State Firefighters Memorial is a tremendous project that will make sure we never forget the courage, bravery and dedication of our firefighters. And Wisconsin Rapids is an ideal location for the memorial because of its central location in the state.
