VIDEO: Residents of Park Ridge will vote Tuesday on an advisory referendum concerning the volunteer fire department. The future of the station remains in question but in the meantime, residents are voicing their opinions. The ballot will have three options for residents to choose from: The first would offer a new building and updated equipment. The second option buys a brand new pump truck but keeps the current building. The third option services out to Stevens Point and closes the department. Some residents are all for keeping the station, "It's a crucial referendum in the sense that we're trying to survive, we want our Park Ridge fire department to continue on," Park Village resident, Conrad Favor said.
