Schroeder creates fire-hose flag for Redfield Fire Department
By Shiloh Appel
The Redfield Fire Department building has a new American flag gracing it’s wall. It’s not your every-day flag, however, but a 5ft. By 9ft. rectangle of fire hoses weighing nearly 100 pounds.
Stefan Schroeder, a volunteer firefighter on Redfield’s city and rural fire departments, recently made the vintage-looking work of art from decommissioned fire hoses formerly used by the Redfield Fire Department. He said that it took one and a half hoses, both of them two and a half inches wide, to complete the piece.
