Lakeside Fire-Rescue Edgerton Fire Protection District is located about 30 miles south of Madison, Wisconsin and two miles west of Interstate 90.

Edgerton Fire Protection District proudly serves the City of Edgerton and surrounding rural areas with both fire and emergency medical services. The department's coverage extends into Rock, Dane, and Jefferson counties which totals about 100 square miles. Coverage also includes 10 miles of Interstate 90. The total population of both the city and rural areas is roughly 15,000 people. As of June 22,

2009, Edgerton Fire Protection District took over Emergency Medical Services from privately owned ambulance. The private ambulance service provided 911 services for the past 11 years. Before that, it was a number of privately owned ambulance services providing 911 for the citizens of Edgerton and surrounding communities. Currently, Edgerton Fire Protection District has 5 full-time personnel for Fire/EMS services, and the rest are a combination of Part-Time and Paid-on-Call. Our EMS provides 911 services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at a Paramedic level. Being at this level our personnel can provide advanced care such as, intravenous therepy, intraosseous therepy, capnography, 12 lead cardiac monitoring, advanced pre hospital trauma care, continuous positive airway pressure, manual defibrillation, and give advanced medications. We also are still included in the ongoing CCR study being conducted in Rock and Walworth counties.

Lithium ion batteries can sometimes go off like a blow torch if they are bad or overheat. Please be extremely careful when charging them. Please be aware of them when leaving them unattended and unplug charging items overnight or while gone from your house.

On Monday morning, MFD responded to a report of a truck on fire inside the FedEx facility. Engine 8 arrived first to find that staff had moved the truck outside and removed a smoking package from the vehicle.

Engine 8 extinguished fire and found the contents to be a case of commercial grade lithium ion batteries.

The MFD Fire Investigation Team was part of the initial dispatch for the structure fire, documented the scene, and performed witness interviews.

This was the second fire incident related to lithium ion batteries in three days. As these items become more prevalent in our daily lives, there are risks and precautions to be aware of:

• Unplug your devices and chargers before you leave home or go to bed at night.

• Use only the charger that came with your device, not knock-off brands or substitute chargers.

• Do not over-charge your device. Unplug your device once fully charged (or unplug at 70% to preserve your battery's lifespan).

• Never store your devices near the primary exit of a room or home. If these devices catch on fire, you will not be able to escape.

• Recycle old batteries responsibly by putting clear packing tape over the metal contact points and dropping them off at your nearest City of Madison Streets Division drop-off site.
