2024 Milwaukee Muster/Expo (more)

Sep 16

Posted by Admin in Collectors of fire memorabilia, Fire Department History, Historic fire apparatus | 4 Comments

From Crabbymilton:

The 2024 Milwaukee Muster/Expo was a great turn out. Despite the small space, many MFD apparatus stopped by in addition to the vintage apparatus on static display. The MILWAUKEE FIRE BELL club did a great job hosting the event just as they did last year. They are great and decent people that deserve thanks for this.

Western Springs Fire Department news

Sep 14

Posted by Admin in Fire Department News | No Comments

Excerpts from patch.com:

Western Springs Fire Chief Mike Kelly is retiring later this month. His last day with the fire department is Sept. 20 after 38 years as a firefighter.

The department is set to recognize Kelly’s service during a “walk-out” ceremony at 10 a.m. Sept. 28 at the fire station at 4353 Wolf Road.

In January 2020, Kelly took the helm when then-Chief Patrick Kenny retired after 20 years as a fire chief, the last nine in Western Springs.

He was previously the fire chief in Hinsdale, where he served for 24 years. He later became Bartlett’s assistant fire chief.
