Departmental Weekly Update
Whitefish Bay Fire Station 84 Remodel Project Update

Firefighters assigned to Station 84 in Whitefish Bay have moved their living/work spaces into a temporary housing unit on the fire station site while a significant remodel project moves ahead at the station. A vast majority of the main floor space is being remodeled as part of the project. The building, originally built in 1953, has had one previous partial remodel in the late 1980's. It is expected the project will be completed in December. The project has encountered a major challenge as unidentified live electrical wires were located in poured concrete. This has slowed the project as contractors have had to resolve this unexpected circumstance.

North Shore Fire/Rescue along with  Greendale, Greenfield, West Allis, Milwaukee, and Oak Creek Fire Department's helped instruct fans in Hands Only CPR before and during the game. Participating fire departments also held a fire apparatus and safety display outside the UWM-Panther Arena prior to the game.  Thanks to the Milwaukee Admirals for their partnership in this event.
