As the Fire Chief of the Sun Prairie Fire Department, I am proud to lead the highly trained and dedicated men and women who give their time and energy to protect life and property.  Our organization is committed to providing the residents of the City of Sun Prairie, Town of Sun Prairie, Town of Bristol, and Town of Burke with quality fire, rescue, and emergency services in the most cost effective and efficient manner.

The Department preserves Fire Department history and tradition, as well as facilitates partnerships with all members of the City and Townships to make Sun Prairie and the Townships a better and safer place to live and work.  The Sun Prairie Fire Department's mission is performed with integrity, commitment and true professionalism.

Hello, I'm Melanie Radzicki McManus.

 

I'm a freelance writer whose passion is exploring the world on foot. I've hiked Iceland's Laugavegur Trail, walked Spain's Vía de la Plata (Camino de Santiago), climbed Mt. Teide in the Canary Islands and completed New Zealand's Tongariro Crossing.

After setting the women's fastpacking record on America's Ice Age Trail, then breaking my own record two years later, I wrote Thousand-Miler: Adventures Hiking the Ice Age Trail (Wisconsin Historical Society Press, 2017). When it debuted, Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild, put it tops on her reading list. 

Now, my goal is to hike America's 10 other National Scenic Trails. To date I've added the New England Trail and Florida Trail to my thru-hike list, plus thru-biked the Natchez Trace Parkway (only about 60 of the Natchez Trace's 400+ miles of hiking trails have been completed). I've also explored 600 miles of the 4,600-mile North Country Trail.

Come follow along on my adventures!
