A few weeks after Madison firefighters worked at one of Appleton’s fire stations, Appleton crews are returning the favor.
They’re going to work at Fire Station No. 1 on Sunday, during the funeral for Madison Firefighter Todd Mahoney. Mahoney died, after having a medical problem while he was swimming in last weekend’s Ironman.
Station 1, in downtown Madison, was Mahoney’s home station.
Several Madison firefighters staffed Station No. 1 in Appleton for the funeral of Firefighter Mitch Lundgaard. Lundgaard was based out of that station. All of those Madison firefighters actually used to work for the Appleton department.
The Oshkosh, Green Bay, and Fond du Lac departments are also helping cover stations in Madison.
