Colvin Fire would like to say Thank You to all the responding Departments for their assistance - Palo, Makinen, Hoyt Lakes, LakeLand, Aurora, Gnesen, Ellsberg , Sheriff’s Deputies and Hoyt lakes Ambulance for their dedication and commitment to serving the area no matter where or how far or how early in the morning. Thanks again for putting your morning routine on hold and coming to our aid. Sorry if I missed any departments that were there.

A water tender from the Fayal Fire Department makes its way this morning to the Ely area. Fire departments from throughout the region are assisting in protecting structures in the fire areas. These departments form an invaluable resource in fire suppression and fire mitigation operations.

This photo was taken of our Firefighter Hirsch and one of Colvin’s members, Firefighter Paul, as they headed out to relieve the day crew.

We love being able to work alongside our neighboring departments. With one open seat on our night shift truck, Firefighter Paul was able to join our crew for the evening. It’s not uncommon during large wildland fire responses for departments to share seats and work together to make sure every available resource is put to good use.

Opportunities like this help strengthen relationships between departments, allow us to become more familiar with each other’s equipment and trucks, and build teamwork that carries over into future mutual aid calls. When emergencies happen close to home, those connections and shared experiences make us even stronger.

Stay safe to all of the crews continuing to protect our communities and our Northwoods. đźš’
