EARLIER:
This is video from Julie Miklaszewicz who runs RVing Outpost, LLC – On-Line Store! and also took the still pictures of yesterday's fire in Abbotsford, Wisconsin that killed Colby Fire Department Lt. Jamison Kampmeyer.
Lt. Kampmeyer, who was also a deputy sheriff in Marathon County, was 34 and leaves behind a wife and three young children.
“There's a lot of confusion right now as to why it had to happen,” (Abbotsford Fire Chief Jody) Apfelbeck said.
The fire chief said while attacking flames from inside the theater, the call went out to crews to get out of the building but some didn’t get the warning in time.
“The roof collapsed, trapping three firefighters inside. One firefighter, Jamison Kampmeyer of Colby, a volunteer with the Colby fire Department and a deputy with the Marathon County Sheriff's Department was fatally injured,” Apfelbeck said.
A memorial fund has been established in honor of firefighter who lost his life Sunday during a fire in Abbotsford.
All donations can be directed to Integrity First Bank, Attention Terri Knoeck, 101 Grand Avenue, Wausau, WI. You can contact the bank at 715-847-4806.

Why we you post a video that is private?
Why would you post a video that is private?
I don’t know Gerry, what’s your theory on that?
Statter
video is marked private
yes I agree private
just to mess with you .
Dumbass, I'm sure the movie was made private after the fact does anyone have any brain cells in here?
Dave, apparently you have to give out more secret decoder rings. Using mine, I can clearly read your UPDATE stating that after you posted the video, the request for privacy was made. It's a shame everyone hasn't been blessed with a STATter911 Decoder Ring. Get yours soon!!
By the way, folks, "Reading, it's FUNdamental!"
To be fair that was not up there when Gerry wrote the comment. In fact, I had just been made aware moments before that the video was private and contacted Julie to find out why. But still the comment made me laugh. Does he think I did that on purpose and that it would be a good business practice to do such a thing?
I've seen weirder things,,,,,,,, not on this page,,, but I've seen em. Sorry Dave,, I wasn't knockin ya. I monitor only 2 sites on a daily basis,, this one and Fire Geezer,,, so you must be doin something right,,, PEACE OUT Brother,,,,,,,,from the East Coast
Don’t worry Gerry. It is hard to offend me. But trust me I do a lot of stupid things and make a lot of errors, but I don’t think I would purposely do that. Thanks.
Geez, Dave, now we've got to be fair?? Raising the bar…
Seriously, having the batch of still pix and the video should be a plus for the investigations.
Dave,
Just think of it as a compliment….once a video hits your site, the woodchucks that posted it will think that they hit the “youtube” lottery and try to pull their video, thinking they will make millions on royalties !!!
