PHOTOS: Investigators are looking into who was behind the vandalism at the Kansas Firefighters Museum over the weekend. DD Wilson, the reporting secretary of the museum, says the vandalism took place between Friday night and Saturday morning, with the sides of the building and the fallen firefighters’ memorial being spray-painted with graffiti. There was no damage to the interior of the building itself, and the memorial has since been scrubbed of graffiti.
“Our museum stands as a testament to the bravery, commitment, and sacrifice of our firefighters. The memorial is a sacred space for reflection, remembrance, and honor. To damage or deface these symbols is to dishonor the memory of those who dedicated their lives to saving others,” a post on the museum’s Facebook page stated. A report has been filed with the Wichita Police Department.
