Stopped by here one late fall day with winter just around the corner. Was concerned that I had an…read moreexhaust leak and CO buildup in the cabin. Had picked up one of these cheep $15 hand held carbon monoxide detectors online but it wasn't clear it was doing the trick. They were more than happy to help. Came out to my car with a device that probably cost at least 10 times as much. And while we waited for the test to complete, they proceeded to tell me of a gentleman who had died the winter before of CO poisoning when he decided to sleep off his drunken stupor before driving home to his wife and kids. It had been a very cold night and he had left his car running to stay warm. When the test of my vehicle cabin completed, it was was negative but I was encouraged to have a shop make a further assessment. Very congenial. Welcoming place. Felt as if one was hanging out with friends. Need to see if they are hosting any upcoming events. I've seen other Firehouses that have hosted open houses but I've never noticed one at Firehouse #1.

When we had a medical emergency at our house, our village (close to Town of Lisbon) sent the Lisbon…read morerescue squad due to the suburbs mutual aid agreement. Ok, fine that works. But when the EMT's were here, one of them tries to distract me while the other walked through my house. Found the EMT rummaging through my desk and asked him what he was doing. He nonchalantly walked away from me. Later, the Town of Lisbon sent me a bill for the transport to the hospital (2 miles away) for $3,000. Yes, $3,000 for a 2 mile trip to the hospital in the suburbs. We appealed and fought this with the insurance company and won. The Town of Lisbon and it's fire/rescue service is an absolute cesspool with no redeeming value.

45 minutes to wait in line but it takes 3 minutes to process a license renewal. Just wish that…read morethe process would be faster

It is never fun going to a government building, but this DMV wasn't bad at all. I needed to renew…read moremy driver license and the whole process took about 20 minutes from start to finish. The line to check in moved very quickly. The employees manning the front desk were friendly and efficient. After you check in and get your photo taken, you get a little receipt with a number on it. There are plenty of places to sit while you wait for your number to be called. The numbers are called in order of your arrival. Each time a number is called, it is displayed on two television screens on opposite ends of the waiting area. It shows which number has been called and which desk to go to. This is really great because you can easily track when and where you need to step up. I was called to desk #1 and was assisted by a woman named Becky. She was friendly and helpful. I don't have any complaints about my experience here.

Good place to work, but as an RN remember that in 12 hrs you won't be able to pee, eat or drink…read more You will run your butt off all day every day. The CO's, although mostly very nice, aren't usually in a hurry to help you during med pass especially in Pod 1, because they are busy with their feet up on the desk chatting it up with each other while you don't have time to complete the million other tasks you have to do. All in all a good place to work to obtain good party stories.

The WCJ staff have the worst attitude I've ever seen. Not accommodating at all. They will let you…read morerun out of basic supplies, bed situation is laughable. For starters, no pillows -_- The toilet is next to your head when you go to sleep on your cold metal mattress. The walls, though made of concrete are paper thin. You hear all the other guests every movement! and pray they don't snore. If you do manage to fall asleep don't worry, the rude staff will come by every half hour through the night and wake you up asking "are your okay?" which they don't actually care, what they're actually asking is "are you alive?" Soon as you move to say "well no thanks for asking, can I have a pillow?" they are long gone. Honestly if I had to characterize the staff's attitude I would say they treat you as if you're in some kind of jail. The food comes 3 times a day and is actually impressive, you would have to try hard to engineer food this bad. At 27 cents a trey I guess maybe I'm expecting too much? My recommendation is to get moved into Pod 3 which is the workers pod. Take a job in the kitchen and spend your 10 hour days very carefully stealing real food. It's under lock and key but they unlock it at certain times. Unlimited Milk and cookie dough, steak fajitas, real fruit like apples and oranges! And in Pod 3 you can shower everyday instead of 3 times a week plus you can work time off your stay. If you get caught taking food though you will get thrown into Pod 2 with the Murderers and other creepy people so don't get caught, cameras everywhere All said there is no hope for this place, just stay away from the fake gangsters (and the real ones). Anyone tells you they are there for an OWI is probably a cho-mo. Find normal people to hangout with and it's not that bad. Workout, read, stay sharp. Whatever you do, don't fight, even defending yourself lands you 6months, no exceptions. The CO's wont break it up either until a lieutenant shows up with a taser so you have about 20 to 35 seconds to not get your head smashed on the corner of a metal table...And don't be disillusioned that because you're in Waukesha people wont shatter your face with a cribbage board. If you do decide to book a vacation here....good luck.

Nothing special out here. Just your typical suburbia. Only reason I'm out here all the time is…read morebecause this is where the bills get paid. There are some decent restaurants scattered about but other than that you won't catch me around out here. It is truly the epitome of being in the burbs. Also being a minority you are liable to get pulled for dwb or some other crazy excuse. Take me back to the city of MKE anyday!
