On March 7th, five firefighters from Mayer Fire and Rescue took on the Fight for Air Climb — tackling 52 floors while wearing nearly 70 pounds of full firefighting gear. 💪🚒

Thanks to the incredible support from our community, our team was able to raise $1,281.58 to help support the fight against lung disease.

Climbing those stairs was a challenge, but knowing we had the backing of our friends, family, and community made every step worth it.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, and cheered us on. Your support truly means a lot and helps make a difference.

We’re proud to represent the Mayer community and be part of such an important cause.
Thank you again for standing with Mayer Fire!

Here is a great reminder as you may be out on the lakes or going in the future. Having a carbon monoxide alarm/detector in your fish house would be a great tool too. Stay alert. Be safe out there.

As temperatures plummet this weekend, fish houses are great places for some respite from the cold and wind.

We want to remind everyone about the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning in fish houses and ice shelters.

Always keep vents open when using heaters, generators, or cooking equipment inside your fish house. Proper ventilation is critical to prevent dangerous gas buildup. Check vents and exhaust pipes often and keep them clear of snow and ice, as even partially blocked vents can cause carbon monoxide to build up quickly.

Carbon monoxide has no smell and no warning signs you can detect. You won’t know it’s there until it’s too late.

Common symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:

✔️ Headache
✔️ Dizziness or lightheadedness
✔️ Nausea
✔️ Fatigue or confusion

If you or someone with you starts feeling these symptoms, get into fresh air immediately.

Simple steps like keeping vents clear, ensuring proper ventilation, and maintaining equipment can save lives. Please share this message and help keep others safe this season.
