Fond du Lac Fire Rescue is spreading warmth to those in need… literally. The department has been collecting sleeping bags to hand out every winter since 2016. For the first time this year, the department is also collecting new hats and gloves. “We keep the sleeping bags on all of our rigs so that if one of our crew members see somebody in need then they just give them a sleeping bag,” said Community Risk Reduction Specialist Calie Tasch. The department also works with local shelters to distribute the items. Also for the first time this year, the department will work with the Salvation Army to hand out pamphlets with resources for the homeless.
