An official from the Indiana Burn camp received a check for more than $2,000 from the Wabash Fire Department on Friday, Jan. 6.
 
The money, which amounted to $2,057.94, was raised during the fourth annual step walk in honor of those who lost their lives in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack, as well as in memory of three local firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty.

He and Firefighter/Paramedic Dennis Vigar began the event on their own in 2012 and it has grown to now include representatives from other local fire departments, as well as members of the public.
