Today marks eight years since we lost the three members of the Spirit 2 crew. These dedicated men had just finished a successful mission, safely delivering a patient to Madison, when their lives were tragically cut short just 12 miles from home base.
​Rico, Klint, and Greg—the void you left behind is still felt deeply by your families, your friends, and the many coworkers who stood by your side. You were more than just a crew; you were a lifeline for the community you so faithfully served. Your sacrifice is remembered, and your legacy of service continues to inspire us all. May you all Rest in Peace.

Yesterday marked 16 years since we lost Vilas County Sheriff’s Deputy Kory Dahlvig in the line of duty. He was responding to assist his fellow officers when he made the ultimate sacrifice. Kory, you were one of the good ones. We will never forget your service. Rest in peace.

RIP Marshall. Thank you for your years serving all the towns in the area. We couldn't of done it without you 💚🖤

Today, our community gathered to honor the life of Marshall Reckard, who passed away on August 20th at the age of 88.
Marshall was a dedicated public servant who gave countless hours to the Town of Presque Isle and surrounding communities. He served as Town Chairman of Presque Isle and spent many years as a First Responder and EMT, responding to emergencies in Presque Isle, Wi******er, Boulder Junction, and Manitowish Waters.
His commitment to helping others and his devotion to our town left a lasting impact on all who knew him. Following today’s memorial service, family, friends, and fellow first responders came together to celebrate his life and legacy.
We are grateful for Marshall’s service and extend our deepest condolences to his family. His dedication and kindness will never be forgotten.
