Behind The Scenes: Fire and Rescue

Caryl and Sue – EMS Trailblazers

In our third installment of “Behind the Scenes” we feature two trailblazing women, Caryl Giuliani and Sue Ernst.  Caryl was the first woman to join the department, along with Linda Erovick (not pictured).  Sue joined a few years after them.

We hope you enjoy learning more about these ladies.  We thank them for their years of service and for being trendsetters to women in the EMS field of service!

The Cedarburg Fire Department is a community volunteer department made up of your neighbors, your friends and your relatives. We are committed to providing emergency services and fund raising activities to make the Cedarburg Fire Department the best of the best. It is only with your support by volunteering, that we can continue to provide first class service to our community. Not only is there a role for those that wish to fight fires and take care of the sick and injured, but there is another important role of fund raising that helps our community. It is through these fund raising efforts that allows the fire department to purchase our equipment and donate it back to Cedarburg. Just recently, we purchased a new fire engine at a cost of over $750,000.00 that will be donated back to the city. No tax dollars were spent, just the sweat and hard work of those who volunteer at our fund raising events to give back to the community. CFD is a family and there is room for everyone in our family. Please consider joining today.
