The Fire Commission interviewed 20 candidates for the Firefighter Eligibility List. Interviews were conducted using Zoom Meetings. The Commission established a new Firefighter Eligibility List upon completion of the interviews.

Staff will now begin the process of offering employment to candidates on the Eligibility List for hire in early September. Six positions are open at this time.

Thank you to the seven members of the Fire Commission who spent nearly five hours doing interviews via Zoom this week.

• The remodel projects at stations in Whitefish Bay and Shorewood have required the Department to move resources to alternate stations at times during the construction. Currently, the paramedic ambulance normally assigned to the Shorewood Station has been operating from the Glendale Station. One crew remains stationed at the Shorewood Station during construction. Now that the Whitefish Bay Station remodel is nearly complete, the paramedic ambulance that is normally assigned to the Shorewood Station is scheduled to temporarily move to the Whitefish Bay Station on July 13. This unit will remain at the Whitefish Bay Station until construction is completed in Shorewood. Shorewood construction completion is expected in Fall.
