Recycling facilities, landfills, garbage trucks and other parts of the waste and recycling industry in Wisconsin are experiencing frequent and sometimes devastating fires.

While it can be hard to determine the cause of each fire, studies have shown rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are often to blame. If damaged by equipment in waste trucks or facilities, these batteries can spark or produce enough heat to ignite surrounding materials. This photo shows the aftermath of recyclables catching fire in a city of Madison recycling truck. These fires put workers and firefighters at risk, in addition to causing millions of dollars in damage.

You can help prevent fires like these:
– Never put batteries or electronics in your recycling bin or cart.
– Take rechargeable batteries to a recycling drop-off site, like a hardware store or local recycling center.
– Recycle your electronics through E-Cycle Wisconsin. Many sites accept electronics like laptops and cellphones for free.

It’s always great seeing a truck in service with the firefighters it was built for!

This week, our team traveled to Lawrence Fire Department to work alongside their dedicated crew for hands-on training and apparatus configuration on their recent delivery - helping ensure both truck and crew are ready for the calls ahead.

Being a firefighter is about more than just fighting fires — in fact, the majority of 911 calls are for medical emergencies.

While we contract with De Pere Fire Rescue for EMS services, many of our members are trained First Responders. This allows us to provide quicker care and support when it matters most.

Drake serves both as a firefighter and as a member of our Public Works team, meaning he’s often already in the community and able to respond quickly when emergencies happen. But his commitment doesn’t stop there.

Over the past several months, Drake has gone above and beyond — attending 12 hours of EMT classes each week, working a full-time 40-hour job, studying for exams, and still making time for his responsibilities as a father, husband, and firefighter through calls, meetings, and training.

All of that hard work paid off.

Drake was recognized as the NWTC Outstanding Student in the EMT program — an achievement that reflects not only his dedication, but his drive to better serve this community.

We couldn’t be more proud.

Thank you, Drake, for your commitment to the Fire Department, the Town of Lawrence, and the citizens we serve.
