Preparing for summer emergencies

DINGMAN n Dingman Township Fire Chief Bill Mikulak reports there were 19 emergency calls, some brush fires, and 55 EMS calls in April. “We are gearing up for the summer season and getting our “dive teams” ready. There are many lakes in our area and water emergencies happen frequently,” Mikulak told township supervisors last week. Mikulak said he was very pleased that six new fire fighters are taking dive training. “We are reaching out to some of our lake communities to allow us the use of their lakes to practice and train new divers,” he said.
