WALDO, Wis. (AP) -- The Waldo Fire Department is in mourning after one of its firefighters died in a weekend crash.

The Sheboygan County Sheriff's Office says 31-year-old Ryan Moyer was killed in the crash Saturday afternoon in the Town of Lyndon.  Moyer was driving a pickup truck when it crashed. Two other firefighters were injured.

Authorities say the men were out collecting donations for next month's fire department brat fry.

Moyer had been with the fire department for five years.

It's not clear what caused the crash, but sheriff's officials are investigating whether speed or alcohol were factors.

Donations can be made in person at the Waldo State Bank, at 119 N. Depot St., between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday. You can also mail your donation to:

Ryan Moyer Memorial Fund

P.O. Box 8
Waldo, WI 53093

Visitation for Moyer will be held Friday, February 10 from 2:00 - 8:00 p.m. at Blessed Trinity Parish, 327 Giddings Ave. in Sheboygan Falls. A second visitation will be held Saturday, February 11 from 9:00 a.m. until the service begins at 11:00 a.m. Burial will be at St. Mary Catholic Cemetery in Sheboygan Falls.
