However, there has been a number of calls run out of the station so far this year due to some key members responding there consistently.<br /><br />This summer started off with a bang in May with a house fire. Every time a storm blew thur Ozaukee County it seemed that a building in Mequon was hit by lightening causing a fire. Grafton had a significant house fire in the middle of July. The Forth of July generated many rescue calls and so did the Ozaukee County Fair. Now in the last week and a half there have been two working fires. One was in the city and relatively small. The second one was a barn fire in the town and one of the bigger fires in the last five years.<br /><br />The city fire was a MABAS 1st alarm fire. The barn fire was a MABAS 3rd Alarm fire with a 5th alarm tender response. In both cases the summer weather made conditions difficult on the fire ground.<br /><br />Engine 163 was the first engine due on the barn fire. Engine 161 was first due for the city fire.CHGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09850540272548778226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719547065739111359.post-84045697303722820582010-06-01T14:09:00.002-05:002010-06-01T14:22:57.259-05:005 years of Station 2 todayToday is the 5th year that Station 2 has been officially open.<br /><br />During the past week many things occurred. 163 was put back into service two Saturdays ago with a new hose load. Maxwell St. Day was last Sunday and seemed to be a good event. Three calls were run out of the station also. The last call being on Saturday night was a haz-mat call. 163 and 158 rolled. All the engine companies and 158 just stood by and waited for Ozaukee haz-mat and then Milwaukee haz-mat teams to arrive. The incident lasted about 2 1/2 hours.CHGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09850540272548778226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719547065739111359.post-17938990218213522052010-05-21T22:34:00.002-05:002010-05-21T22:42:52.139-05:00163 is back163 is back in Cedarburg.

Engine 163 has been out of service since late February to receive a new water tank. However, it should be back in service in the next week. Without an engine there has been no point in going out to stand guard and the Brewers have not been entertaining to watch. In the time that Engine 163 has been gone there were three working fire calls. The last two occurred in the past three weeks. One call was for mutual aid to Grafton on a lightning strike, the other call was a house fire on the east side of Cedarburg. Both fires were taken care of quickly by the responding crews.<br /><br />The summer will be upon us soon. Since there will not be any new trucks to put together it seems as though it could be a quite summer, outside the fact that Washington Ave. is all torn up. Also the beginning of June will mark 5 years of Station 2.<br /><br />Postings should be more regular now that classes are done.CHGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09850540272548778226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719547065739111359.post-44252887951954832692010-04-10T21:19:00.002-05:002010-04-10T21:26:35.292-05:00Spring Is HereNot to much has happened since the last post.

It seemed that from the reports coming from the dispatch center that a room was involved in fire and had got into the attic. With this report those of us at Station 1 got on Engine 163 and headed south. Upon arrival a moderate smoke condition existed in one of the wings. A 2 1/2 line was pulled into the building along with apartment packs. After about an hour of investigation it was determined that something burnt up in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">HVAC</span> unit for the wing and crews cleaned up and returned to quarters.<br /><br />Other than that the month of January was slow. A majority of the calls were rescue. If a map was used plot our calls most of them would be located on the south side at a certain complex and to our neighbor to the east.<br /><br />Things have been slow around the Clubhouse as well.CHGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09850540272548778226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719547065739111359.post-46280693693504082632010-01-08T17:23:00.002-06:002010-01-08T17:26:57.877-06:00Busy Day1/7/09 was busy many calls were run.

Only one day was busy which was the day after Christmas. The radio room update is well underway with the old console removed and a new floor put in. The gang has been busy with the radio room so going out to Station 2 was put on hold. 964 calls were run in total by the CFD in 2009 a majority of them rescue calls. Major fire incidents were up however, with 6 taking place. However, only one incident was raised above a box alarm due to the great volunteers of Cedarburg.<br /><br />Maybe things will pick up around Cedarburg so that there will be more stuff to post.CHGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09850540272548778226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719547065739111359.post-32206240738167427172009-11-30T23:11:00.002-06:002009-11-30T23:25:23.252-06:00Station 1 Radio RoomThe Radio Room project has began. It started with the painting of the walls on Saturday. It will continue for the next several weeks and will hopefully be done by the end of January. It was found that after 15-16 years with no cleaning or painting the walls were dirty. Just the painting helped make the room look better.<br /><br />Otherwise nothing much has happened in the last few weeks. Our call volume has been relatively slow for the the lasts few weeks compared to the rest of the year. So that is about all that has happened.CHGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09850540272548778226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719547065739111359.post-86199742241501243112009-11-01T20:48:00.003-06:002009-11-01T20:54:49.912-06:00ERV is back at 2On Sunday ERV or the Emergency Response Vehicle was brought back to station 2 for the winter.CHGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09850540272548778226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719547065739111359.post-26515090075967533972009-10-30T14:09:00.002-05:002009-10-30T14:13:34.308-05:00Tomaso's<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ2KKKf-PuCzTaXnwMy-eVTzPM8055FbZX-5zEzs4kLvx_AruBcxZgCnGb1qud2Wxpc_LRHxiDtMBCiKDdLaf9KKSm10vbUPuiqY-HldkY4kSp594oFTuO_TF_6WVUnjMZ_Ev1uZIDIu8/s1600-h/photo.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398472488289631506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ2KKKf-PuCzTaXnwMy-eVTzPM8055FbZX-5zEzs4kLvx_AruBcxZgCnGb1qud2Wxpc_LRHxiDtMBCiKDdLaf9KKSm10vbUPuiqY-HldkY4kSp594oFTuO_TF_6WVUnjMZ_Ev1uZIDIu8/s320/photo.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a id="myphotolink" href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3871196&id=508696583"></a></div><br />Last night Tomaso's hosted a thank you dinner for the members of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Cedarburg</span> Fire Department.

It began on Friday morning at about 2:30 am when a fire broke out in an apartment above Tomaso's Restaurant. Crews quickly <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">extinguished</span> the fire and contained the fire to one apartment. The people living in the rest of the building were saved by the smoke alarms. The fire only needed a Working Still response do to the location downtown and all of the Volunteers that came. Crews were <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">onscene</span> for 3-5 hours depending what they were assigned to.<br />After the fire the part to the Clubhouse Gang and Battle Unit 158 and 155 went to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Froedert</span> Hospital to do a fire <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">extinguisher</span> training. After getting back from the training some much needed rest was required to recover from the fire.<br />Later in the day on Friday some of the Clubhouse got together and did some shopping for items that were needed at the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">station</span>. This also allowed for some driver training on Engine 163. Once back at the station the engine was cleaned for Safety Day.<br /><br />Safety Day started for the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">CFD</span> members at 10:30am to set up. The event started at 12:00 pm and lasted until noon. Other than the un<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">usually</span> cold <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">temperatures</span> it was a good event.<br />On Sunday some of the Clubhouse and Engine 163 went an event for a family in a bad situation. The engine and firefighters hopefully helped lift their spirits. That concluded the the weekend.CHGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09850540272548778226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719547065739111359.post-86158572563987773402009-09-28T21:15:00.002-05:002009-09-28T21:19:35.889-05:00162 & 864 Wet DownOn <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Saturday</span> Engine 162 and Grafton's Engine 864 were <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ceremonially</span> put into service at Firemen's Park.

A few house keeping items got done and a lot of sports were watched. The weekend however was ended with a fatal traffic crash at the intersection of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Wauwatosa</span> Rd. and Sherman Rd..

So it's a good time to look back and ponder on what got accomplished at the Clubhouse this summer. For starters many calls have been run out of the station 51 this year about 20 of those came during the summer maybe more. Engine 162 was put together and put into service in four weeks. Engine 163 spent 13 hours in Cudahy<br />AND... ERV was completed.<br />The Emergency Response Vehicle was conceived out of the jealousy of Thiensvilles Kuboda. Now some may say that's a little harsh but it is true. Once we all saw Thiensvilles rig we wanted our own. So after many years (about 2) of trying to get a Kuboda just as a joke a deputy Chief found a used Cushman first responder vehicle on craigslist and proposed the idea. However, this idea was taken further then a joke and the price was right $1600. So the membership voted to purchase and effectively resurrect this golf cart for no more then $5000. To get the cart running $700 in batteries was purchased. After spending the beginning of June with the antiques and begin run around the Headquarters complex ERV was taken to Station 2. On the 28th of June the tear down of ERV began. Everything was taken off to be repainted or replaced. Remind you this was Strawberry Fest weekend, the same weekend 162 was put together. After a few weeks of sitting and parts being shipped to different locations the work began again. The frame was grounded, converted, and painted. The picture below shows the finished frame. Around this time we decided to pick an arbitrary date for ERV to be finished which was August 25th.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmXRoLXDiZK-KrTIzUOGUD9Pn90cLYZqI053PZLsrRPiMJZ5GQOUp353JcSbiofHm_u42tcOfnZAcAq6Yem2hHU0WduoMDhiWS3ag3aoAoyelH_lMSwVePql-H9n1oyPNDOK_BaryGZi8/s1600-h/IMG_0131.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380447669916107602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmXRoLXDiZK-KrTIzUOGUD9Pn90cLYZqI053PZLsrRPiMJZ5GQOUp353JcSbiofHm_u42tcOfnZAcAq6Yem2hHU0WduoMDhiWS3ag3aoAoyelH_lMSwVePql-H9n1oyPNDOK_BaryGZi8/s320/IMG_0131.jpg" /></a> Once the frame was done the body was ready to go on after being painted professionally.<br /><div><div>Picture taken on August 3.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 321px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 226px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380446605597864514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitKacGEg9kjipZiER3tFiP7ZKlXIuaycU7pcYV1vbUJw2dVRbZVZCReTzTCAYq8e5QWOmJGocLx2lAwolZpoKeMv4aUJVLi0HoCuR0wouNjsAj2hQ8tpJXFZGRxMkAl9rNI_5hmIF1zvY/s320/IMG_0132.jpg" /> Once the body was on reassembly went quickly. The front was put back on along with the metal rear bumper and metal deck. After the deck and front were put on the windshield and roof columns were reattached. Then the roof and roof rack was mounted. The custom seats came in and were mounted. The stainless steel was polished and mounted with the headlights. The large cabinet and the extinguisher was then mounted next. The front bumper came in and the was mounted after that. By this time the vehicle looked like this.(August 23) <div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 329px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 223px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380446613301419650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp9cFqitHuK49PrvIypUtNqgpgRqWIkHZ7gIxOyGyphyphenhyphen-fhCEDpjpiwq_Pkxezl81ythKWn4e_8Bs-x3bqiOWZhCW3NrQ3QYAhySg0lI5S1Xq5O4xD-Q2mH_dRQHkSMsJnp4lvLhhC-f4/s320/IMG_0136.jpg" /></div><div>This was the major part of the project but a few things were missing.

The entire process of getting the new truck was completed in about 9 months. The old engine was sold to Denmark, WI and left <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Cedarburg</span> on the 24th of July.<br /><br /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Cushman</span>- The body was painted and the chassis was prepped for paint. Once everything is painted the assembly should be quick.<br /><br />Training- A Mass Casualty Incident training was held on the 25th of July at CHS. Multiple departments participated and a lot was learned from it.<br /><br />Touch-A-Truck- An event was held at Wayne's Drive-in for little kids to see different municiple vehicles and the Clubhouse Gang joined in by bringing Engine 163.<br /><br />Oh I almost forgot......<br />We got another structure FIRE.<br />The call came at 3:00 PM on Monday July 20th. A neighbor reported it since they had smelt something burning and found smoke coming from the house next door. The first crews quickly arrived on scene but were behind from the get go with a strong wind out of the east and a lack of water. Luckly nobody was in the house at the time and a dog was saved. The fire could not have come at a worse time since we were down an engine. Old 162 had already been bought by Denmark and the nobody had pumped the new Engine 162.<br /><br />The rest of the week should be interesting it is the Ozaukee County Fair this week.CHGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09850540272548778226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719547065739111359.post-76797697908596152312009-07-11T11:45:00.007-05:002009-07-12T00:42:12.178-05:00Task Force 119On Monday the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">CFD</span> was part of a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">MABAS</span> Task Force to help the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Cudahy</span> Fire Department at the Patrick <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Cudahy</span> Plant.
