Fire Fighter John E. McMaster, also a member of Local 734, is in critical condition.
The structure partially collapsed, trapping the four fire fighters, who called a Mayday. The fire fighters were pulled from the scene and transported to Maryland Shock Trauma Center. Tragically, three succumbed to their injuries, and the fourth fights for his life.

Prayers for these hero’s
Unfortunately Stevens Point has recently experienced several fire deaths and injuries due to home oxygen fires involving smoking. Stay tuned this week as we have teamed up with Portage County EMS to create a short video documentary on the dangers of oxygen use while smoking. Oxygen fueled smoking fires are hot, fast moving, and deadly but are 100% preventable, don't let yourself or a family member become another statistic.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s legacy lives through all those who organize for improved conditions for all!
