COMSTOCK TOWNSHIP, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – A new bronze statue honoring late Comstock Township Fire Chief Edward Switalksi has been unveiled at the township’s Firefighters Memorial as the department celebrated its 100th anniversary over the weekend.
Joshua Diedrich sculpted the statue and says a lot of work went into it.
Switalksi was killed in the line of duty in June 2017 when he was hit by a truck as he was responding to a call on Interstate 94.
His widow, Holly, spoke at the ceremony, saying her husband is missed and loved and will never be forgotten.
Community donations paid for the memorial.
