The newest addition for the Brussels-Union-Gardner Fire Department is one Fire Chief Curt Vandertie hopes you never have to use. Work on a new landing zone near its south station was recently completed and put to use for the first time last week. The new landing zone will allow a safe place for the Eagle III and Theda Star medical helicopters to serve the area in emergencies. Before, firefighters and first responders would have to set up a landing zone in a nearby field for helicopters to land. Vandertie says thanks to the new landing zone, they can direct their efforts to other emergencies that may occur in the area at the same time.
