North Shore Firefighter/Paramedics were kept busy with their normal 20 plus calls for service during their 4th of July Shift, but also participated in six community celebrations and parades. 

Firefighters at Station 82 in Glendale participate in the first "Glendale Summer Soak" by raising the aerial ladder on Truck 82 and sending a stream of water down on the kids (and kids at heart) in attendance at the 4th of July Celebration (picture to left) to keep them cool. 

Six fireworks displays were held in the evening that crews strategically deployed to provide specific protection and coverage to both the spectators and display coordinators. 

• Truck 82 and Battalion 8 assisted Milwaukee Fire Department with a structure fire on July 2 at 5300 N 39 St.
• The Department responded to dumpster fire at Einstein Bagels on Oakland Ave in Shorewood on July 4. The fire was extinguished. Cause of the fire is under investigation.
• Staff continues to work with the CAD and Records Management System Vendor on performance issues with the mobile data product used in computers on apparatus. A meeting with the vendor is scheduled for July 19.
• Members of a internal committee working on selecting a new employee scheduling/timekeeping software product went to City of Waukesha Fire Department to see the product in use on site.
