Good morning, Appleton.

Appleton residents gathered for a community workout to honor Dominic Hall, a former Marine and police officer who loved exercise and died in September 2022 from pancreatic cancer.

His family said the event keeps his memory alive and shows his belief in helping others—his legacy endures every year.

A kitchen fire in an Appleton home on the 1100 block of West Summer Street caused about $30,000 in damage and injured one person who was treated for burns and smoke inhalation—fire crews responded at 4:05 a.m. on August 24 after all occupants evacuated.

Outagamie County Emergency Management held an open house at its emergency operations center as part of National Emergency Management Awareness Month to show locals how to prepare for emergencies.

The officials explained ways to plan for storms, hazardous materials, and other hazards — a reminder for everyone to review their plans.
