The Importance of Connecting to First Responders: Fire at the Zona Gale House
- Kathleen D. Mullen
Abstract
A recent fire in Portage, Wisconsin, at the Zona Gale House (also known as the Museum at the Portage) perfectly underscores the tremendous benefits of connecting with first responders before a disaster. The local fire department received reports of the fire around 1:30 on a Sunday morning in early April 2014. Firefighters at the scene found themselves unable to reach any of the all-volunteer museum staff, affecting decisions about how to proceed in extinguishing the fire.
