Your purchases of food, drinks, and raffle tickets will go a long way to better protect the Southern Door community. The Southern Door Fire Department announced on Monday it raised over $35,000 during its annual parade and picnic. The event drew dozens of people to the area a year after having to host it as a drive-thru due to COVID-19. Thanks to the community’s generosity, Southern Door Fire Chief Rich Olson says it gives the department more options on how to best use the funds.
One idea scratched off that list is a new washer and dryer for the department’s turnout gear. Olson was thankful to the town in their jurisdiction for pooling their resources received from federal relief funds to purchase the equipment.
