Green Bay Metro Fire Department
GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — The Green Bay Metro Fire Department Annual Report for 2023 is now available.
2023 saw 16,940 total incidents; about a 4% decrease from last year.
“Right now we’re going through and seeing if that decline was due to fire prevention education and community risk reduction outsourcing, or if it was other means too,” said Lt. Shauna Walesh with the Green Bay Metro Fire Department.
Walesh noted that in 2023 they participated in 413 community outreach events; which is the most they’ve ever done in a year.
Other information in the report includes data on emergency medical incidents, vehicle accidents, department training, noteworthy events, and more.
One of the significant training events that happened in 2023 was when 174 members were trained on marine shipboard fire fighting.
“The City of Green Bay has a very large international port system, so being able to respond to incidents involving ships is a very unique situation that most firefighters don’t initially have that training on,” said Walesh. “Getting this training and certification is something we’re hoping to build on in 2024.”
