Departmental Weekly Update
Great Work!

Members of the Department donated over $1,000 in toys to the 105.7 FM Toy Drive Benefiting Children's Hospital of Wisconsin this past week.

Members also participated in the Shop with a Hero Event along with members of the North Shore Law Enforcement Agencies at Wal-Mart in Brown Deer on Wednesday afternoon. Shop with a Hero provides an opportunity for under privileged children to select holiday gifts for their family. Funds for the gifts are provided through fundraising and sponsorship. Thank you to the Brown Deer Police Department for leading this effort.

Great work by members of the Department and North Shore Professional Firefighters Association!
