FDL Fire And Rescue Celebrates National EMS Week With Open House
Fond du Lac Fire Station #1 hosted an open house in honor
of National EMS Wednesday night. Part of the fun was the young kids who
attended. Firefighter Edgar Ramirez-Tellez quizzed one young man on how often
you should check your smoke detector to make sure it is working. He told the
boy you check them once a month, but change the batteries every six
months. Fond du Lac City Councilwoman Karyn Merkel says she works
for a big company and seeing Fond du Lac paramedics show up for a health
emergency isn’t unusual. She appreciates the work they do.
