The Algoma Fire Department would like to thank everyone who responded. A big thank you to the unsung heroes – Multi-Color Corporation, the American Red Cross, and Kwik Trip for helping keep our responders well hydrated and bringing food, and finally the area farmers and neighbors that came to help move animals. The generosity and support of our small community and neighbors is always amazing. It’s not just the fire departments, it takes a community.
