Huge congrats to Jon Ghinazzi on being named City of La Crosse Fire Department's Firefighter of the Year! Jon is a North Park Fire alumni that served with us for many years before moving on to a career department. We were lucky to have you, and so are the citizens of La Crosse, WI!

We need to thank another local vendor for their generosity!
In the photo is what's called a "RIT bag," which contains breathing air and equipment to assist in rescuing a trapped or injured firefighter in a burning structure. Without getting too deep into what we do with it, this kit essentially acts as a lifeline if we need to rescue one of our own. Like everything in the fire service, these bags are expensive, but built pretty tough to withstand being drug through all kinds of debris and obstacles.
This bag was recently damaged during a training evolution, and instead of needing to spend money buying a new bag, Blake Awning and Flag Company was able to repair the torn seams and refused to take payment. This isn't the first time the Blake family has taken care of us, but we appreciate it every time. Thanks so much for your generosity! There's definitely a reason they've been in business since 1889.
