New air packs arrive at LMFD

The Lake Mills Fire Dept. received new air packs last Wednesday night, Oct. 17. The 15 air packs came with a price tag of $93,176. The funds came from grants, fundraising and the city budget. “The city council has always been good to provide the fire department with the best equipment for the safety of every firefighter,” noted firefighter Scott Hagenson. Jim McGuire from Scott Feld Fire Equipment performed a fit test on each firefighter to make sure no toxins could get through. The air tanks were attached to each back carrier and the alarms checked.
