On December 31, 2018 Lake Mills Fire Department Captain Chris Truman was tragically struck and killed on the Madison beltline by a passing car while attempting to assist a motorist in distress. To help the community honor Captain Truman, Lake Mills Community and Government TV recorded the procession that returned Captain Truman's body back to Lake Mills. Also Lake Mills TV was the only media organization allowed to record the visitation and service for Captain Truman on January 5th and 6th at the Lake Mills High School where hundreds of community members gathered. Lake Mills TV provided footage to Milwaukee and Madison television stations for use in their news stories about our hometown hero, Captain Truman.
