Spring Is Here

Not to much has happened since the last post. A fire at the Country Keg and a few grass fires are all that have happened.

It has been awhile

Well it has been three weeks since the last post and there was some outrage over the lack of updating.



To begin just as the last post was being uploaded a fire call at one of the nursing homes came across the wire. 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 HVAC unit for the wing and crews cleaned up and returned to quarters.

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.

Things have been slow around the Clubhouse as well.

Busy Day

1/7/09 was busy many calls were run. All rescue with one being a car incident. Just about a foot of snow fell yesterday.
Today only one call, a fire call and Engine 161 rolled out of Station 2 with most of the gang on board.

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.
