The state patrol says the crash happened Monday night as the ambulance driver was changing lanes from Highway 694 to Interstate 94, and hit the back end of a semi that was being towed.

The station is expected to be re-opened and fully operational by October 23rd.   

The response zone normally covered by the Forsythe Station will be covered by Olive Street, Barbados, and Breard Fire Stations until the work is complete at the Forsythe Station which may take approximately 7-10 days.

Residents living near the Forsythe Station may see a slight increase in response times during this period; however, this increase in time should be minimal.

Fire Chief Christopher Van Loo said that station will close its doors Jan. 31.

During that time, the engine company normally housed at the station will be moved to Station #6 on Lightning Drive. Firefighters housed at that station, along with Station #1 Drew Street, will cover Station #4's area. GPS will help the nearest crew respond to any call.
