Busy Summer

Unfortunately, the Clubhouse Gang has not spent much time at Station 2 this year. 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.

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.

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.

Engine 163 was the first engine due on the barn fire. Engine 161 was first due for the city fire.
