Slammed

Multiple calls came on Sunday at the same time. One required Flight for Life.

Happy New Year

It has been slow around the CFD for the last few months now. 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.

Maybe things will pick up around Cedarburg so that there will be more stuff to post.

Station 1 Radio Room

The 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.

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.

ERV is back at 2

On Sunday ERV or the Emergency Response Vehicle was brought back to station 2 for the winter.

Tomaso's

Last night Tomaso's hosted a thank you dinner for the members of the Cedarburg Fire Department. The food was great and highly appreciated.

Weekend of 10/23

Ran call number 56 out of station 2 on sunday when a crew 4 went on a carbon monoxide call.

Busy Weekend

The past weekend was busy. It began on Friday morning at about 2:30 am when a fire broke out in an apartment above Tomaso's Restaurant. Crews quickly extinguished 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 onscene for 3-5 hours depending what they were assigned to.
After the fire the part to the Clubhouse Gang and Battle Unit 158 and 155 went to Froedert Hospital to do a fire extinguisher training. After getting back from the training some much needed rest was required to recover from the fire.
Later in the day on Friday some of the Clubhouse got together and did some shopping for items that were needed at the station. This also allowed for some driver training on Engine 163. Once back at the station the engine was cleaned for Safety Day.

Safety Day started for the CFD members at 10:30am to set up. The event started at 12:00 pm and lasted until noon. Other than the unusually cold temperatures it was a good event.
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.
