Just over a week away & we’re finalizing all our plans, picking up our many orders, putting together our fantastic raffles and generally finishing up so we’re ready for the big day.

We would like to ask our great bakers for a donation to our bake sale this year. We’re really in need of some samples of your talents! Donations can be dropped off at Memorial Hall on Sunday morning. And a special note—disposable pans will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for all your help.

See you March 8th!

We would like to say thank you to the Wisconsin Senate and Assembly for approving the expansion of the PTSD workers compensation bill to cover Volunteer Fire and EMS.

This is a huge win for all of us!

We look forward to this hitting the Governors desk for signing in the near future!

Structure Fire Response - 1/19/2026

Kiel, WI – On January 19th, 2026, at approximately 1437 hours, the Manitowoc County Joint Dispatch Center received a call regarding a fire inside of a pole barn with animals trapped inside, located in the 21000 block of Point Creek Rd in the Town of Schleswig. The Kiel Fire Department was dispatched at 1439 hours and arrived on scene approximately 12 minutes after the time of page.

The first arriving engine found a 40’ by 60’ pole barn with heavy smoke coming from the inside of the structure. Further investigation found a chicken coop, approximately 4’ by 8’, on fire inside of the pole barn. An offensive fire attack was used to extinguish the fire within minutes after arriving on scene. The Kiel Fire Department remained on scene for approximately 1 hour for overhaul efforts. The chicken coop was a total loss, and there was significant smoke and heat damage to property within the shed. The cost of damage to the shed is approximately $15,000. There were no reported injuries as a result of the fire, however, chickens inside the shed were found deceased. Fire officials classified the cause as undetermined due to multiple potential ignition sources, including heating devices and extension cords present in the area.

Due to the initial call reports, cold weather, and size of the structure, mutual aid was requested through the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS) Division 128, and the Kiel Fire Department and Ambulance were assisted by the following agencies:

Ada Fire Department
Cleveland Fire Department
Elkhart Lake Fire Department
Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office
New Holstein Fire Department
St. Anna Fire Department
St. Nazianz Fire Department
Valders Fire Department
Wisconsin State Patrol

The Kiel Fire Department would like to remind the public to be cautious when using space heaters and extension cords, and to ensure they are being used as directed by the manufacturer.
