Chad and Jessy recently purchased Wildfire Sprinker Systems. Jessy is also co-owner of Angry Trout Cafe.
How did you land in Cook County? What journey brought you both here?
Chad: I moved to Cook County to pursue outdoor style living and had family in the area. So it was a good fit.
Jessy: I moved to Grand Marais in 2020 with Chad when the stars aligned and we found a place to live. I came from Aitkin county where I was raised, and rural living is in my blood.
You recently purchased Wildfire Sprinkler Systems. Can you share a bit about the importance of this business, what it involves, and how you can be reached?
Chad: It is very important to protect properties from the impact of wildfires, whether they are private properties or resorts. These systems require upkeep and maintenance, and having 20 plus years of firewire and irrigation experience really pays off when designing, maintaining, and promoting these systems.
We can be reached at cell 218-256-1136, Office 218-877-7012, or [email protected]
Jessy: As co-owner of the Angry Trout Cafe and now Wildfire Sprinkler Systems, your days must be very exhausting. How do you and both find time for self-care and time to unwind?
