                               DEPARTMENT

                                 ______

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 11, 2021

  Mr. GALLAGHER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the heroic 
efforts of the Sturgeon Bay Fire Department. In the early hours of 
February 1st, a bulk carrier ship holding fuel and docked for the 
winter, the M/V Roger Blough, caught fire. Over 100 Sturgeon Bay 
firefighters battled the blaze for hours, using 1.4 million gallons of 
water to extinguish the fire. Their bravery and skill ultimately lead 
to no deaths, no injuries, no fuel discharged, and minimal damage to 
the ship. These brave men and women deserve our thanks and gratitude, 
and have served Northeast Wisconsin exceptionally well.
  Madam Speaker, I urge all members of this body to join me in 
applauding the Sturgeon Bay Fire Department for their service and 
bravery on February 1st.
