Halloween fun with Proctor Fire Department

Yesterday, Proctor Fire Department joined Bay View for their Annual Trunk or Treat event! We brought Ladder 1, handed out candy, and enjoyed connecting with community members.

It was a great opportunity to share a little about our department, give everyone a closer look at one of our rigs, and spend time with the community we’re proud to serve.
From our crew to yours, have a safe and happy Halloween! 🎃

Welcome to the PFD Family!

Please join us in welcoming our two newest members, Mikalie Maunu and Gabe Miner, to the Proctor Fire Department family!

Mikalie and Gabe have stepped up to serve the City of Proctor and Midway Township as Firefighter/EMR members, and we couldn’t be more excited to have them training to be on our team!

Gabe has already begun his Firefighter I, II and Hazmat training at Lake Superior College, while Mikalie is looking forward to beginning her PFD training soon as she pursues her nursing education.

We’re proud to have these two new members answering the call and investing their time in serving our community. Welcome to the team, Mikalie and Gabe!

Monthly Safety Check!

Take a few minutes today to test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors. Make sure they’re working properly and replace batteries or alarms as needed.

A quick check today can make a big difference when it matters most.

Training Together. Ready for Anything.

The Proctor Fire Department and Proctor Police Department wrapped up their Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) refresher training last week, continuing our commitment to being prepared to serve our community when it matters most.

Throughout the training, PFD member and Mayo Clinic Ambulance Service Education Instructor Lisa Vogel challenged our teams with realistic, hands-on EMR scenarios designed to prepare responders for a wide range of emergencies.

The final training day brought a particularly unique scenario: delivering a baby and caring for both mother and newborn, using a mechanical birthing mannequin.

You never know what situation you'll encounter when you answer the call. That's why we train for the routine, the unexpected, and everything in between.

Thank you to Lisa for challenging our teams and helping keep Proctor's first responders prepared.

Thank you to Hermantown Fire Department for inviting us to this valuable hands-on extrication training! Three of our PFD firefighters were able to participate and gain experience working with the unique challenges of bus extrication.

We appreciate opportunities to train alongside our neighboring departments and learn from each other. Thank you to United Truck Body for providing the bus for this training!
