HOLMEN, Wis. (WKBT) – A few weeks ago, News 8 Now learned that Holmen Area Fire Department Chief Buck Manley was placed on paid administrative leave.
Village leaders say the decision was made based on two key reports about the department, as well as a pending shared-services agreement.
The department is very short-staffed right now with just 15 firefighters, most of them paid on-call volunteers.
Its emergency response times are much slower than national standards.
McMahon Associates, an engineering consultant firm, established its own report about the department in April.
