VIDEO: A La Crosse Fire Department ladder truck crew multi-tasked in low-30s temperatures that seemed colder because of blustery conditions Wednesday at Riverside Park, helping string Christmas lights on a tree for Rotary Lights and practicing with equipment at the same time. Two firefighters took large spools of lights up in the bucket and unwound them as they maneuvered the bucket above the watchful eyes of an earthbound firefighter. Of course, they and Rotary Lights volunteers tested the light strings to make sure they worked before hanging them from the branches with care.
