Chippewa Falls Fire Department demonstrates new hydraulic cot system

CHIPPEWA FALLS — Chippewa Falls firefighter/paramedic David Patten moved a new hydraulic cot Monday by pushing a few buttons on the side of the machine. The new system glides in and out of the back of an ambulance, much like a drawer, with no lifting by workers required. “It saves our backs,” Patten said. “These are fantastic. It makes it a lot easier to get people in and out.” The new power cot system — which costs about $24,000 each — was installed

New Chippewa Falls city planner hired from firm

CHIPPEWA FALLS — After nearly a decade working for engineering firm Short Elliott Hendrickson, Brad Hentschel decided to take a leap, leaving private work behind to become the Chippewa Falls city planner. “It was a hard decision,” Hentschel said. “SEH is a good company to work for — they take care of their employees.

Trucks roll out at Mills Fleet Farm center

CHIPPEWA FALLS — Saying the new Mills Fleet Farm distribution center is large doesn’t seem to do justice to the 1.1 million-square-foot facility in the northeast corner of Chippewa Falls. “If it were empty, we could hold 17 football fields,” said plant manager Julie Engdahl. The facility held a ceremonial sendoff Monday in which the first five semitrailer trucks loaded with products were shipped off to stores across the Midwest. The company continues to hire
