History of Mke Fire Dept and Memories of a Long Career
November 10, 2024 | 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Frank Alioto, Milwaukee Fire Department-Retired.
Frank is a life-long Milwaukeean and a member and neighbor of First Church since 1995. He was lucky to have achieved his childhood dream of serving in the Milwaukee Fire Department until retiring as a Battalion Chief in 2015 after 32 years. Frank loves to share stories of adventures, accompanied by incredible photos. As a local history buff, Frank will also chronicle the history of the department, from the romantic horse-drawn era to the present including spectacular fires that helped shape Milwaukee.

For over 50 years, the Sunday Forum lecture series has showcased provocative, sometimes controversial, speakers discussing topical issues of the day: politics, the environment, health issues, the arts, education, and more. The Sunday Forum is held at 10:00 a.m. September through May. Speakers give a 45-minute presentation, followed by questions and brief comments from the audience. The content of Forum lectures does not necessarily express the viewpoint of First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee, but are meant to offer thoughtful topics which our members often pursue further on their own.
