Local Fire Departments adding more equipment

You may soon see a new apparatus responding to incidents around Door County as the Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Department introduced Squad 6-24. The apparatus carries up to 6 firefighters to incidents such as car accidents, structure fires, and technical rescues. Members of the department spent roughly three years working on the design of the apparatus that can be fully used by their department. The Sister Bay Liberty Grove Firefighters Association donated the funds raised in support of the department to complete the tool mounting and upfitting. Squad 6-24 will respond to all car accidents in the response district, and will carry tools such as the “Jaws-of-life” on board. This news comes in addition to other county departments receiving equipment donations. The Southern Door Fire Department recently received a rescue tube and a rescue auger that will aid in freeing someone who may become trapped in grain.
