EMS providers with the Department began receiving the COVID-19 Vaccine this week through a local medical clinic and Milwaukee County Office of Emergency Management. Additional members will receive the vaccine through the North Shore Health Department beginning next week.

On behalf of the entire Department, I would like to thank HEO Steve Tippel for his service and leadership as President of the North Shore Professional Firefighters Association.

Steve recently completed his term as President. He served as the President of the Association for twenty-one years. Steve is a Heavy Equipment Operator with the Department.

Congratulations to the following members who were formally promoted this week by Fire Commission Chair Nick Padway:

Both Cal and Eero started their relationship with the Department as High School Interns and were hired by the Department as full-time firefighters in 2007.
