Each year since 2005 our Park Ridge Fire Department has supported Walk Wisconsin with keeping the participants safe and we did so again this year, likely for that last time. Our Command Vehicle partners up with an EMT volunteer partaking with the Portage County EMS Association. Like several area fire departments we also assisted with crossings of busy roadways at the request of Active Portage County.

A little recent driver training on a beautiful Sunday.

A shout out of appreciation to Fiternal Fitness Company for allowing us to train using thier parking lot. Fiternal has always been an outstanding community partner of our small FD. Following last week's fire, James went and brought in breakfast as our crew was beginning clean up and his company's morning workout was starting.

We would like to thank the departments of Stockton Fire - Rescue - EMS , Stevens Point Fire Department, Plover Fire/EMS Department, Amherst Fire District, Almond Volunteer Fire Department and First Responders, Hull Fire/Rescue/Ems, Rosholt Fire District, Dewey Fire Department and EMS for their help this morning at a house fire. Stockton and Dewey also provided Emergency Medical Services support for firefighter rehab and Stevens Point had an ambulance on stand-by with us. Wisconsin Public Service provided support as well as the Stevens Point Police Department and the Portage County Sheriffs Department. The Stevens Point Street’s department also provided with some much needed road salt.

After we had returned to our station James from Fiternal Fitness Company brought in breakfast sandwiches and beverages for our Crew – THANK YOU James!

"I simply cannot, and will not, continue to work under our current conditions. Ultimately, I am done asking staff to do the same."

On December 4, 2021 our department participated with other public safety agencies in the Salvation Army's Red Kettle First Responders Challenge. Our staff raised $928.50. PRFD Firefighter Kate Lila pledged to make, then donate, one scarf for every $50.00 we raisesd. Yesterday she dropped 19 scarves off at the Salvation Army!

Way to go Firefighter Lila.
