A man was found outside Station 29 at 56560 Highway 371 in Anza in the rural southwest portion of the county just before midnight, Deputy Michael Vasquez said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.  

There were no known witnesses, Vasquez said. The man had injuries, but a cause of death had not been established.

Investigators have not ruled out that the homicide was somehow related to the scores of illegal marijuana growing operations nearby, Vasquez said. The Sheriff’s Department on Wednesday searched more than 100 properties and seized what appeared to be thousands of marijuana plants.

Village Manager Mark Fitzgerald said there have been equipment issues.  

Last fall, a pumper truck was hit and is waiting for insurance to fix it. In January, another truck had a part break. And most recently, the brakes went out

But the Menomonee Falls Professional Firefighters Local 3879 President Kevin Myers said this is not surprising when equipment repairs and replacements are delayed.
