Western Lakes Fire District field trip
A trip to Western Lakes Fire District enlightened Rotarians of the mighty crew’s dedication to citizen safety. WLFD serves more than 54,500 in 11 different communities. They have 42 full time positions. EMS response times have improved and services enhanced through extensive onboarding and training. WLFD operates its own apprenticeship program, drawing participants from across the US. Research rated Oconomowoc manufacturers for hazard safety, false alarms were monitored and safety equipment made more accessible to respond to overdoses, heart attacks and emergencies.

On May 1 the department will adopt a new ladder truck and on May 20 it will host the Taste of Western Lakes with equipment displays, police K-9 and food trucks. Its mission: The Western Lakes Fire District is committed to providing the highest level of protection of life and property to those served. They provide Emergency Medical Services, Fire Suppression, Rescue Services, Fire Prevention and Public Education.

The professional and dedicated staff are devoted to promoting an environment that encourages teamwork, safety, problem solving, and creativity, while maintaining a positive public image. Go to https://westernlakesfd.org/ to learn more.

Splash Pad
A glitch with an inkind donation left Rotary down $70,000 for a concrete pour at the site. Rotarians appeared at city council last week and asked for a temporary loan to cover the pour. Within a week, that $70,000 deficit was reclaimed through heartfelt contributions. Thank you to all who donated. All who attended the council meeting said that their commitment to Rotarians’ good works was reaffirmed.
