Over 400 Firefighters from 51 departments statewide will be in the Lake Area this weekend for the 61st annual Firefighters Convention at Tan-Tar-A Resort. Osage Beach Fire Chief Jeff Dorhauer says the last time the convention was held at the Lake was back in 1990.
Dorhauer says one of the things planned for this year’s convention is a Lakeside Memorial Service on Sunday to honor the two Missouri firefighters that were killed in the line of duty in 2014. One was from Columbia the other from the Kansas City area.
