VIDEO: Mark Helmle thanks WBPD Officer Lee Goodman. “He slung my dad over his shoulder and was about to climb 68 stairs and I said ‘let’s take the tram.'”

Dec. 29, 2016 – West Bend, WI – It was quite the 52nd birthday for Mark Helmle. The house his father built in 1945 burned to the ground and he and his dad ended up in the hospital. But to hear Helmle tell it – he got the best gift ever and that’s thanks to local firefighters and West Bend Police Officer Lee Goodman.
