Spring Grove St. Peter's Pre-School Fire Station Visit
May 12, 2009
The pre-school classes from St. Peter's in Spring Grove visited the Richmond Fire Station on May 11 & 12th for a tour of the station. Approximately 45 pre-schoolers visited the station and were treated to a tour and general fire safety message. The bright-eyed visitors were then transported to the Library for the second part of their adventure with a genuine Fire Engine ride with emergency lights and siren included. All attendees were appreciative of the hospitality given to them on their visit.
Richmond Fire Trains for Ice Rescues
January 31st was a bright sunny and cold day. But that did not deter members of the Richmond F.P.D. from going for a dip in the icy waters of the Fox River. With a growing number of ponds, water retention areas, small lakes and the Nippersink Creek in district, the possibility of ice rescues during winter months is a possibility. Richmond firefighters who attended the training got to use the district's new "Mustang" suit. Following the training session, which was hosted by Fox Lake F.P.D., Fox Lake Fire donated two "Gumby" suits to Richmond Fire. The addition of these suits along with another that was donated by Twin Lakes Fire, greatly enhance the ice and water rescue capabilities of the department.
