Commission assigns development of parade-day response guideline after Celebrate Bonduel dispatch conflict
Summary
After being dispatched to a call just before the Celebrate Bonduel parade on July 4, the commission discussed staging personnel at the station, keeping primary apparatus in the garage, and improving emergency egress; Chairperson Mark Miner and Chief Kevin Lynch were tasked with drafting a Standard Operating Guideline.
The Bonduel/Town of Hartland Fire Commission on July 17 directed Chief Kevin Lynch and Chairperson Mark Miner to develop a Standard Operating Guideline for handling calls during major events such as the Celebrate Bonduel parade.
Commissioners said the department was dispatched to a fire call shortly before 11:00 a.m. just as the parade was about to begin. Members discussed options including keeping primary trucks in the garage with personnel stationed at the firehouse so vehicles can be deployed quickly, and identifying or improving emergency egress points along the parade route to ensure a fast response.
No formal vote or timetable for the guideline was recorded; the transcript reflects only that Chief Lynch and Chairperson Miner will collaborate to develop the SOG. Implementation details, including staffing levels, temporary road closures, or coordination with parade organizers, were not specified.
