Ghosts from the past, I began my career in 1982 and I was a member of your fine department from 1982-1988, actually this was my first EMS job. So many great memories. I was under EMS leadership of Sybil Wagner at the time. Dick Debier and Deb Olson were 2 of my main Paramedic Preceptors. How the call volume has changed, we only had 200-300 calls per year in the 80's. I did see several pictures of calls I remember being on.

I am still at it, currently I work for the State of Wisconsin as an EMS Regional Coordinator, covering the entire north half of Wisconsin, still licensed as a Paramedic. I hope to get down that way this year and stop in to say hi.
Keep up the phenomenal work, many do not realize what we go through. it seems like yesterday that I began this career, time will fly by, cherish all your memories. If anyone wishes to contact me and hear more of the memories I had, feel free to email me. Don

Great Job!

I admire your devotion, congratulation on your work!

Thank You for the service that the Pingree Grove Countryside Fire Protection District has provided us. Please know that I fully support the Referendum Proposal you will have on the March 20th ballot. I hope that many more residents will also support the referendum, and pass it. Sincerely,

Thank you for Welcoming Cub Scout Pack 33 into the station to meet. We have been working diligently to find a suitable meeting site for the Pack since leaving the community center and being welcomed to the Chartering Organzations building is a perfect solution to the pack needing a space to meet. We hope to bring the Pack and the Fire Dept closer with this NEW meeting place. Again Thank you very MUCH.
