Statue Of Slain OR Wildland Firefighter Installed In MT

(Laurel, MT) -- A bronze statue of an Oregon wildland firefighter killed in the line of duty is going up in Montana. The 500-pound statue depicting the late wildland firefighter Ruben Romero of Keizer was installed yesterday at the Montana State Firefighters Memorial. Romero died of a heart attack while battling the Bivens Fire in Montana's Tobacco Root Mountains last August. The statue was installed just ahead of a ceremony scheduled tomorrow in Montana to honor firefighters who have died in the line of duty.
