The Monkey Island Fire Department on Grand Lake has been a volunteer fire department since 1989 but they have now hired several full-time firefighters to help respond to emergencies.
“This year so far, we are about eighty calls ahead of what we were last year,” said Chief Carl Tesreau.
Chief Carl Tesreus, who took the first full-time position in 2004, said folks who plan to come out to Grand Lake for the first time this summer, need to be careful.
“This lake is dangerous to people who don’t know the lake, a lot bigger water, and waves than they think,” Tesreus said.
