    Firefighters and police officers with the Fort McCoy Directorate of Emergency Services (DES) respond to an emergency situation July 25, 2024, on the cantonment area at Fort McCoy, Wis.

    Deputy Fire Chief Brady Brever with the DES Fire Department said firefighters safely stopped a heated brakes emergency on a military trailer with an immediate response.

    “The fire department deployed a handline to cool the brakes and checked the temperature with a thermal imaging camera,” Brever said.

    B Shift firefighters combined their skills to successfully complete the response, Brever said, along with police personnel providing additional support.

    Fort McCoy’s motto is to be the “Total Force Training Center.”

    The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services nearly every year since 1984.
