A house fire in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin drew a massive emergency response, not only from fire departments but ambulances and medical helicopters from the region.

Ambulances from City of Sheboygan, Oostburg, Random Lake, Plymouth, Kiel, Port Washington, and Orange Cross Ambulance as well as medical helicopters from Flight for Life, ThedaStar, and as far away as Madison’s UW Med Flight.
