On Monday, the Illinois House of Representatives adopted House Joint Resolution 74 honoring firefighter Tim Jansen of Bartelso who gave his life in the line of duty while fighting a fire in 2012.  State Representative Charlie Meier sponsored the Resolution designating a portion of Illinois Route 161 as the Firefighter Tim Jansen Memorial Highway.  Jansen was a 15-year veteran of the Santa Fe Fire Protection District.  The Resolution designates the section of Illinois Route 161 between the intersection of Hanover Street in Germantown and the intersection of South B Street in Bartelso as the Firefighter Tim Jansen Memorial Highway.  It passed a committee vote mid-March, has now passed the House unanimously and goes to the Illinois Senate for final approval.
