Let's get some answers before more tax dollars are given to Fire Chief Edward Dobernig to spend.

Citizens of New Berlin Thomas Dobernig (Edward's brother) said in his email and flyer that it is his opinion that we have been tragically misinformed. Let's get answers to a few question to see who is misinforming us.

Why did the City take over the New Berlin Volunteer Fire Department in 2001?

When the City took over it was said that nothing would change except for the name, which would change to the City of New Berlin Fire Department. Note: Edward L. Dobernig was hired (2001) to replace Chief Ronald Rebatzke the very same year the city "took over". My opinion is the "City" lied and mislead all of us.

In the same email/flyer titled ("Life Safety Alert" which I can only assume Thomas had sent out as no one took credit by addressing on the flyer who was responsible for delivering these to our homes). Thomas Dobernig (Edward's brother) claims the New Berlin Fire Department needs more personal..........  Thomas needs to ask his brother Edward Dobernig why he "fired" or "forced to quit" a large number of the 150 volunteers who gave willingly their time and own money to give emergency care to our citizens. I know I would like to know?

What happened to the EMT-Intermediate service which Andrew Wahl and many of the New Berlin Volunteer EMT/FF's worked so hard to bring to New Berlin's Fire Department?

I am not against the EMT-P service.

We however can not ignore how this came to be and why we will be asked to pay more in taxes in the very near future.  Do not allow Thomas and Edward Dobernig get away  giving us more misleading information.

Let's see if they will continue to misinform us?

More questions and comments to follow on the BIG ticket spending by our "Fire Chief"....
