VIDEO: Fire departments from around the region gathered in Holmen for a 12-hour training workshop this weekend. Facilitated by training officer Battalion Chief Michael Grazian and his team from the Chicago area, the workshop provides five Coulee Region fire departments a chance to train in a controlled environment with other departments. "The fact that we have 30 firefighters interacting today if they come to the battlefield in a few days from now, which we hope doesn't happen, things will go much better," Holmen Area Fire Chief Paul Menches says.
