Prince William County Gainesville District Supervisor Peter Candland says he wants to place a memorial for Kyle Wilson, the only county firefighter to die in the of service, in a more prominent place.

A memorial for Wilson stands at the entrance of Catharpin Park, located about 10 miles west of Manassas, at the park entrance at Route 234. The road within the park, Kyle Wilson Way, is named for Wilson, who died while battling a house fire in Woodbridge in 2007.

Candland said he is working with the county's parks and recreation department to create a new memorial for Wilson that will stand in a more prominent spot in the park, next to the park's concession stand.
