If you guessed Potosi....you were right! We are excited to partner with Soggy Bottom Barbecue again to support a local rural fire department. We will be heading to the Potosi Fire Department. The ride will be taking place on Saturday, July 25th. The route and menu will be announced at a later date. Hope to see you there!

Tomorrow 1:45pm & 6:45pm will be a TEST of the storm siren in town.

Despite the cancellation of the Statewide Tornado Drill, Grant County will proceed with testing warning sirens in all communities tomorrow at 1:45 PM and 6:45 PM.

Collectively, our communities have installed a significant amount of new warning equipment in preparation for this year’s severe weather season, and with these changes it is important that we verify the entire system is fully operational and ready.

Grant County will conduct warning siren testing in all municipalities on Monday. In some areas, this will consist of a brief “growl” test, where the siren is activated and then quickly silenced. In other communities, the tests will run for a full siren cycle.

These tests are part of the transition to our new countywide radio system and are being conducted to confirm that all equipment is operating reliably and as designed.

These tests are NOT a part of Wisconsin's statewide tornado drill, which will take place on Thursday, April 16th (stay tuned for more outreach on that!)

Tonight is one of the departments best time of the year. We spoil the wives/girlfriends of our department. With out them we aren’t able to help out our community. The ladies of our department are the glue that holds it all together. Keeping the house and family running while we respond and help. We had a fun night of food and laughter. Playing 3 rounds useless knowledge trivia and a round of music trivia. Thank you ladies for ALL you do for our department.
