Wisconsin Town Fine with Beer in Fire Hall
A town in Wisconsin has voted to allow the firefighters to continue their practice of having beer at the fire hall (from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal via Firehouse.com).
Apr. 6--Palmyra -- With only a two-vote difference, voters in this small community let the firefighters have their beer.But newly re-elected Village Trustee Al Tietz said Wednesday that firefighters shouldn't order a round at the fire station just yet.
Read the whole thing. I've posted on this issue before but involving a different fire department. See the post here.
I like to tip back a beer as much as the next guy, but it just doesn't make sense to me to have alcohol at a fire hall. The possible legal and liability issues far outweigh the social benefits.
