September 2019

Thank you all so much! The Belleville Police Department appreciates all those who contributed toward making the Public Safety Night such a great success - and all those who came out to spend time with your community public safety partners.

It’s almost time for New Glarus Oktoberfest! This year New Glarus High School Homecoming is also being held on the same weekend.
Oktoberfest, the annual festival coordinated by the New Glarus Chamber of Commerce, will kick off on Thursday, September 26, and run through Sunday, September 29, 2019.
New this year is a Tug of War exhibition in Village Park on Saturday and Sunday. Teams from Canada, the Royal Air Force team of England, and the Leo’s of Northern Ireland will all be competing, as well as teams from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, and Iowa.

On September 19, 2019, at approximately 12:35 a.m., the Belleville Fire Department was called to a tractor fire on CTH A in the Town of Montrose.
Upon arrival it was discovered that there were multiple tractors, other equipment, and many large hay bales on fire in an open feed lot.

A brand new ambulance went into service for the Belleville Area EMS on August 22, 2019. The new ambulance allows our service to provide the most reliable form of medical transportation, which is critical, particularly in rural communities. The new ambulance integrates up-to-date safety standards and equipment and functions as a mobile emergency room. One of the new features is an automatic load system, allowing the medical crew to move a patient into and out of the ambulance without having to lift the stretcher.
