HOLMEN, Wis. (WKBT) The Holmen Area Fire Department Board has placed Chief William Manley on leave as it began pursuing a partnership with the La Crosse Fire Department, according to a statement released Friday by Village President Patrick Barlow.

“After McMahon had commenced its review, it was determined that preliminary adjustments were needed to ensure that the department could respond to emergency calls,” Barlow said in the statement.

But the governor also said he’s fine with people who have a seasonal residence in Florida getting in line for vaccinations, since “they re not just kind of flying by night for a week or two.”

Under DeSantis’ directions, people age 65 and older, along with frontline health-care workers and first responders, are eligible to receive the vaccination, which is largely being distributed by hospitals and county health departments.
