Fire Department Lieutenant in Wauwatosa Uses Chainsaw to Create Artful Park Bench

Firefighters know how to use many tools, itโ€™s part of the job; however, a Lieutenant in Wisconsin takes his skills to another level when heโ€™s not fighting fires. Lieutenant Patnode with the Wauwatosa Fire Department is an artist, and creates art pieces out of woodโ€”using a chainsaw. Wauwatosaโ€™s Firefly Grove Park is the newest playground in town, and Lt. Patnodeโ€™s newest piece of art is a park bench that showcases the new spot. The new playground includes plenty of equipment, but the new bench showcased not only Lt. Patnodeโ€™s craftsmanship but also a look into his daily life outside of serving the community.
