North Shore Fire/Rescue

While about 38% of the population is eligible to donate blood, fewer than 5% do. Sign up to save lives and donate blood at Bayside’s August 8th Blood Drive: tinyurl.com/BAYSIDE8824
As special thanks for your selfless donation, all attempting donors will receive a custom Versiti tote and a $50 off coupon to Wilderness Resort. PLUS all donors will be entered to win a two-night stay at Wilderness Resort.

We’re getting closer to moving into our new fire station in City of Glendale Wisconsin. Signage went up today. Wondering what the 82 means? Our stations are all part of a countywide station numbering system and Glendale is Station 82.

It's only the safest car seat when it's installed and used correctly. Schedule a car seat check or installation with a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician today: nsfire.org
Safe travels!

Stay weather alert tonight!

In 2023, North Shore Fire/Rescue assessed and treated just over 8,800 patients and transported nearly 5,000 of those patients to area hospitals.

Today kicks off EMS Week 2024. This year, as we recognize the 50th anniversary of the first National EMS Week, we honor those who came before us, especially those who challenged the status quo and raised the bar for all of us in EMS. And at the same time, we look forward, building on their efforts and committing ourselves to forge a future for the next generation of EMS professionals to serve their communities.

Captain Jankowski received his retirement send off this morning, after working in the North Shore for over 23 years. We wish you all the best, Ken! Congratulations and thank you for your dedicated service.

If you thought you heard a tornado siren late this afternoon, you did. The National Weather Service issued a Tornado Warning for a small portion of southeast Milwaukee County at about 5:30 PM. Currently, the tornado siren system in Milwaukee County does not allow for partial activations of the system in Milwaukee County, hence the County-Wide activation. A current siren replacement project will allow for future partial activations once complete according to Milwaukee County's Office of Emergency Management.

Congratulations to Kennedy who was sworn in as a Probationary Firefighter today. He joins Christos, who has been completing his Paramedic training the last few weeks. Together they will begin the Joint Fire Training Academy on Monday.

Thank you to our brothers and sisters in blue as we recognize National Police Week. Your service and sacrifices don't go unnoticed.
