Dear Sirs:
I am happy to report that the Mock Fire Exercise at Barnes went quite well.::As usual we found
some opportunities for improvement and will be exploring various possibilities. I particularly
want to note the participation of Sheriff Richard Fredericks, County Forester Bill Hepner, the
Department of Social Services, the County Nurse, and Emergency Government Coordinator Sue Gatts.
They all did a very fine job and,,added greatly to the overall effort.
Bayfield County also has a fine core of hard working dedicated volunteer firemen that were out on
the front lines protecting homes. As has been noted during the critique, of all real fires and
mock fire exercises in Wisconsin, one of the,most critical shortfalls is the Volunteer Fire
Department radio system. While many fire departments individually have good radios that are
adequate for their local needs, they don't often have a coordinated core of six to eight portable
radios for the various fire officers placed in critical. command situations. The Bayfield County
Fire and Rescue As and Sheriff Fredericks are currently working on.the problem but could
use the support of the Bayfield County Board.
Sincerely,
Arthur C. Clarke
Area Forest Ranger
