Fire
Department Utility Vehicle AKA Command-7
| Fire Department members voted to
purchase a Auxiliary Utility Vehicle.
Truck has arrived and is slated for
modifications and expected to be in
service by June 15. Many thanks to all
who donated to our fund razing efforts,
and those who have given special
donations to the department. This unit
would not become a reality with out your
help. Command 7 will serve many
functions will replace Mini-1 as a
second out first response unit other
uses will be transporting needed
supplies and clean-up at fire scenes,
also transporting members to training
classes with their gear. In addition
will be used to move the Green Co
Emergency Gov. light-tower and its
primary function of being used as a
Command center for any "Large Scale
Operations" Command 7 will become a
very useful addition to our fleet. |

ATV-8
aka Irene
Meet Irene aka ATV-8
Purchased totally with funds from a bequest
from the estate of Irene Marty
ATV-8 will serve 2 vital functions primarily
used for grass/wild land fires will give the
department access to areas that can not be
reached with other vehicles. Also with 2

easier access to calls on both trails. The
tank and pump unit was designed by
department members and construction done by
Owen Welding of Brooklyn WI. We wish
to express our thanks to Irene in thinking
of us.
Notes from the webmaster of Monticello-Fire.org
I can remember the times as a youngster we
would visit the farm that Irene lived on
with her father. My father was a can milk
hauler for Pet Milk at New Glarus and
Wilbert (Irene's father) was one of his
patrons. We would be invited to dine with
Irene and Wilbert once during the summer.
The highlight of that day for me and my
sister was having a ride on one of Wilbert's
horses. Wilbert still had a team of draft
horses and he would take one out of the barn
and we would ride bare back around the field
with the horse being lead by Wilbert. For a
8-9 year old this made quite a impression.
Irene was a fixture in the community she
worked in the dry goods part of Blum's Store
for years. And was very active in local
church social circles. She moved into the village in the
late 1970's when the farm was purchased by
Gordon Smith. The farm house was destroyed by
fire on Christmas Day 1980.
