Community heroism praised following plane crash
Praise was heaped on community members and agencies who responded quickly to a plane crash in Fond du Lac last night.
The plane crashed within one kilometer of the Fond du Lac airport just moments after taking off. According to officials at the press conference, first responders and community members were on scene within 15 minutes of the impact.
“This was an opportunity for the community to come together,” Fond du Lac community consultant Don Deranger said. “Everybody was involved and that’s how the community came forward.”
Deranger said it will take three to four days for any additional information regarding the crash to be released. Any recommendations which are made in the reports will be followed up on by band officials.
