A Wamego firefighter has died after suffering serious injuries from a fall. According to the Wamego Fire Department, John Randle and the Wamego Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 4:50 a.m. on Monday. After the fire was put out, he was severely hurt from a fall while “returning a fire apparatus to service.” He was airlifted from Wamego Health Center to Stormont Vail Hospital. He died Tuesday. The City of Wamego Fire Department Facebook page changed its profile picture to an “End of Watch Badge.” It’s a traditional symbol to resemble their last radio call to honor Randle’s service.
