“Meet the Member Spotlight”
Episode 6: Mike Harris

Member Mike Harris wears many hats at the South New Berlin Fire Department, and we are so grateful that he does! Mike has been a commissioner for about 12 years and an ambulance and fire truck driver for the past 3 years. In addition, Mike is a pump operator, a Rehab member, and our “Mr. Fix It!” Mike answers the call for a large number of our ambulance calls, making him a volunteer extraordinaire!
If you think that Mike Harris is just sitting around waiting to drive an ambulance, you would be very mistaken! Instead, he is probably out hunting, fishing, or golfing. Not doing that? You will find him spending time with his family, gardening, or making maple syrup and jerky. One of his favorite activities is hunting geese with his doodle dog, Deekster.
Family members previously in the department were his late Aunt Pat Beadle and late Uncle Bob Beadle who served for many years in the SNBFD as well as his cousins, Bob and Chris Beadle. When asked why he volunteers, Mike stated that after his heart attack in 2005, he wanted to give back to the community and help others. When asked about why he thinks others should join the department, Mike expressed the need for young volunteers because as our members age, there will always be a need for firemen and women, EMT’s, ambulance and truck drivers, and many other roles to be filled to serve and protect our community.
Mike was sure to give a shout out to Mike Barry, who trained him for the squad and encouraged him to become an ambulance driver. He also stated, “I enjoy being a member of the SNBFD and Rescue Squad Family.”
Thank you, Mike Harris, for your years of service and dedication to our South New Berlin community. We are lucky to have you as part of this “family!"
