United States (Wisconsin) - Aldermen have agreed unanimously to merge the city's fire department into the regional Lake Country Fire Department. If approved by the other communities in the Lake Country department, the merger would take effect Jan. 1. Chenequa and Nashotah formed the regional department in 2002 as a way of boosting efficiency and regional cooperation in fire protection. Chenequa and Nashotah officials both must approve adding Delafield to the regional department.

Delafield aldermen endorsed the merger Monday night.
