Milwaukee Fire Department community meetings set for October

MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Fire Department will be hosting community meetings in every Milwaukee fire station in October to address increased response times, decreased service to the public, and increased risk for its department members, a news release says. 

The news release says the goal of the community meetings is to educate the public, elected officials, and any other stakeholders or interested parties as to the "systemic strain on our local fire suppression and emergency medical services."
