This from Wayne Gauger – WGWI-PUBLICATIONS:

It was an exciting day for the Green Bay Metro Fire Department. The department received a new state-of-the-art fire boat. The fire department held a demonstration of the boat by placing a man into the Fox River as well as using a fire pump capable of discharging 2,000 gallons of water per minute. The boat will be used during rescue and firefighting operations. Fire chief David Litton says it will help the team when it comes to accidents on the water. I will tell you this potential always exists. Whether it’s a boat being stranded out in the bay, whether it’s somebody who capsizes their boat – an incident we had this summer – whether there’s a fire onboard or somebody overboard there’s much potential. The price tag of the boat was $315,000. $225,000.00 was donated by Green Bay Area Petroleum Companies and $90,000.00 will come from Green Bay taxpayers.
