Who is a Milwaukee firefighter?
Rothmeier was injured while responding to a house fire in December 2022. He suffered a back injury and is currently unable to work. Over his more than 20 years as a firefighter, Rothmeier has always been committed to helping others, but he needs assistance right now.
In addition to his injury, Rothmeier’s daughter Fiona has been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease. She requires frequent medical treatment and hospitalization. The family has been traveling to Minnesota for Fiona’s treatment, which has added to their financial burden.
