Since the beginning of the year, the Holmen Area Fire Department has been experiencing greater demand for services. HAFD Assistant Chief Bill Bulawa told the Holmen Area Fire District Association Board at its April 20 meeting, the department has responded to 99 calls since the board’s March meeting. “We’re running,” said Bulawa. “It’s a busy time, and we need all the help we can get. We’ve had about 300 calls for the year.” The majority of the calls have been for emergency medical services.
