Is There A Milwaukee Fire Muster/Swap Meet/Vehicle Display for 2024?

[19-685]

Coming up quickly on the "usual" early September schedule for Milwaukee Fire Muster/Swap Meet/Vehicle Display.

Haven't seen any announcement so far.

Anyone have any confirmation of an event for this year?

Really enjoyed the 2023 event - lots of rigs (current and legacy), great food, items for sale/swap.

Thanks for posting any news

I don't know either but I'm thinking of emailing the MILWAUKEE FIRE BELL CLUB and MILWAUKEE FIRE HISTORICAL SOCIETY. I checked MATS south's event calendar and found nothing. It was a smaller location last year at old E25 but very well run and great people running it. It used to for many years held on odd number years but now it's anybody's guess. Hopefully someone will know for certain and say something.

I second that. I was there for most of the event. Yes, the MILWAUKEE FIRE BELL CLUB people were absolutely great and everything was well thought out just as they did last year. Yes I saw them respond too. That's what was so nice about that stations location when the HAZMAT was there is that they could easily join the interstate. Speculation is that next year it might take place at the safety academy next year to mark an anniversary or some such thing. But that's next year so we'll have to wait and see what happens.
