Wisconsin to use landing craft to fight Apostle Islands fires
The Wisconsin Conservation Department will acquire a landing craft, used by U S Army Reservists in Michigan, to quickly deliver tractors and plows and about 15 men to shore for firefighting at the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior. Neil LeMay cites dock shortages as a hurdle. The vessel comes via the federal excess equipment program. Six-year-old chimpanzees are noted to leave their family for days at a time.
