Fun at the firehouse
The Lisbon Fire Department hosted a flu shot clinic for the first time this year on Saturday.
The department has been hosting blood drives for a number of years and this year approached Community Memorial Hospital about offering flu shots as well, said Fire Chief Doug Brahm. The fire station now has a large community service room and offered a good space for local residents to get their seasonal flu shot. Brahm said he thought around 60 flu shots were given.
"We're doing it as a community service," said Brahm.
He said the event went well as the rain held out and experienced a good turnout. The department christened two new trucks and an ambulance and did a short memorial service for firefighters and police officers.
Brahm said he estimates around 300 people attended the event because he gave away around 280 hot dogs, "but some people could have come back for seconds," he quipped. McDonalds donated orange drink, the Survive Alive house was on site as well as Sparky the Lisbon fire dog.
Brahm said the department works to make the open house an annual event during fire prevention month in October. The Waukesha County Sheriff's SWAT team, and the Sussex, Richfield, Merton and Hartland fire departments also attended.
"It seems like a popular event but we could always use more people," said Brahm. "All in all we had a fairly good turnout and the flu shot clinic was a success."
