APPLETON (NBC 26) -- Two companies worked together to dedicate a special memorial for a fallen Appleton Fire Driver Engineer.

Appleton Fire Department Driver Engineer Mitch Lundgaard was killed last year when a man opened fire after a rescue call in downtown Appleton. Police shot and killed the gunman.

Karl's Transport and South Side Design and Graphics partnered to make a memorial trailer for Lundgaard.

"They informed us they produced about 85 trailers this year," Appleton Fire Department wrote. "About 20 of which were memorial trailers for service men and women, firefighters, and law enforcement professionals who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Mitch’s trailer will travel coast to coast and into Canada for the next ten years. It will allow Mitch’s memory to be spread for years to come."
