Members of Pleasant Prairie Fire & Rescue would like to sincerely thank all who supported the 7th Annual Steak by Fire Fundraiser on Saturday, November 2. With the help of those who attended the dinner, those who purchased raffle tickets and those who made a donation towards the event, members of the Fire & Rescue Department will be able to purchase supplemental fire and emergency medical equipment to assist the department when responding to emergencies. Equipment that has been purchased in the past includes: stabilization struts for use during automobile accidents and structural collapses; CPAP units to assist during times of respiratory distress; an Advanced Life Support Manikin for paramedic training; a GPS unit for use when responding to mutual aid calls; an EZ-IO drill; and more.
The department greatly appreciates the support of all who have attended Steak by Fire and those who have donated items for the event. Special thanks also go to Dave and Kathy Perez of Chef David's Catering, Brad Durocher and Mike Milligan of SUPERVALU, Mike Serpe, Paul Gotz, and Tom Bruno of St. Therese Parish for their assistance in grilling over 689 pounds of steak for the event. Members of the department would like to invite everyone back next November 1 for the 2014 Steak by Fire event.
