Next Sunday, the Brussels-Union-Gardner Fire Department wants to thank you for your support while showcasing its newest addition to its south station campus in Brussels. Last fall, the department finished work on a helipad that allows a safe place for the Eagle III and Theda Star medical helicopters to serve the area in emergencies. Before, firefighters and first responders had to set up a landing zone in a nearby field for helicopters to land. It is one of two helipads in Door County, with the other at Door County Medical Center. Fire Chief Curt Vandertie says it has already been used a handful of times and has been a great addition to the department. Five area businesses and 10 community members donated their time and money to help construct the landing zone. The BUG Fire Department will host a dedication ceremony for the helipad and an open house for the south station for community members and others to tour. The event runs from noon until 2 p.m.
