MADISON, Wis. — Gov. Tony Evers has ordered flags be flown at half-staff in honor of a firefighter who died after contracting COVID-19 in the line of duty.
Donald Edwin Kittelson died Dec. 17 after contracting COVID-19. He was chief of the Clayton Volunteer Fire Department.
“Fire Chief Kittelson served the Clayton community for more than 34 years years. A third-generation firefighter, he was a pillar of his community and a mentor to many, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm for firefighting with the next generation,” Evers said. “Our deepest condolences and thoughts are with his family, loved ones, the Clayton Volunteer Fire Department, and the entire Clayton community as they grapple with this loss.”
Executive Order #101 goes into effect from sunrise to sunset on Saturday.
