While celebrating the future of the Ephraim Fire Museum, the department, and the community will honor the legacy of one of its fallen firefighters. Thursday marked the 20th anniversary of the passing of former Assistant Fire Chief Bill Weborg. According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, the 25-year veteran of the department was responding to a boat fire at the Fish Creek Marina when his father, Niles Weborg, found that he collapsed as they prepared to head out. Ephraim Fire Chief Justin MacDonald says the department and the community owe Weborg a great deal of gratitude for his service.

Weborg will be honored when the department rededicates its Ephraim Fire Museum along Water Street (State Highway 42) on Sunday at 4:45 p.m. The commemoration will not only honor Weborg's life but also showcase the improvements that have been made to the museum, which includes a new floor. State Highway 42 will be closed at 4 p.m. between Moravia Street and County Highway Q to allow people to attend the ceremony. Following a social after the ceremony, the highway will reopen to traffic at 6 p.m.
