Operating as usual
We enjoyed a visit today from Luxemburg Girl Scout Troop 4298. We discussed fire safety, donned turnout gear with SCBA, and demoed some of our equipment. After some great questions from the group, EMS discussed safety and demoed their equipment with more outstanding questions. Thank you scouts for the visit and the firefighters and EMTs who assisted.
From the Luxemburg Community Fire Department house to yours, we wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season.
Fire , ambulance, and police vehicles waiting to greet the LC girls division two state volleyball champs!!! Congratulations!!!
The LC Public School kindergarten classes visited the fire station today as part of Fire Safety Week. We had a very attentive group listening to our talks about fire safety. After great questions, we set up the ladder truck and sprayed some water for our future firefighters. This is one of the reasons many of us enjoy being firefighters.
We would like to thank everyone who were able to join us at our annual hamburger/brat fry. We enjoyed the day with good food, music, raffles, and refreshments.
Thank you for all the cash donations, and all those who donated goods and services to make this another successful year. Thanks to all non-members who volunteered their time assisting us. I also want to thank our committee and department members who worked long hours putting this together.
Congratulations to all the raffle winners, and congratulations to Rusty Vlies in winning the 4-wheeler.
We look forward to seeing everyone at next year’s event!!!

On Saturday 9/11, our station hosted the Fire and Iron Station 141 motorcycle club. Their event called Ride to Remember is for the fallen firefighters, police, paramedics, and all others who perished on 9/11.
The money they raise goes to the children’s burn camp in East Troy Wisconsin.
Their ride started Saturday morning with a ceremony at the Suamico Fire Department, then going to the Two Rivers Fire Department before heading to Luxemburg. They finished at the Oneida Radisson in Green Bay. Over 150 bikes participated and over 200 people.
What a great group supporting a great cause!
We can’t thank Chief Vandertie, the B.U.G. Fire Department, and their board members enough for loaning an engine to our department for three days while we had our apparatus out of service waiting for parts. It shows the great working relationships local departments have in working together.
At 12:55 am on Wednesday morning, the Luxemburg Fire Department was dispatched for smoke in a house at E1171 State Highway 29 in the Town of Montpelier. While in route, dispatchers informed responding units that there were flames showing. The fire was quickly upgraded to a multiple alarm fire.
Upon arrival, firefighters found a 2-story home with fire breaking through the roof. First in firefighters quickly advanced to the 2nd story attacking the fire until being pulled out due to deteriorating conditions. The structure had numerous additions, making it difficult getting to all voids within the roofline of the home. After knocking down fire with an exterior attack, firefighters again performed interior operations. Using over fifteen 3 and 4 person firefighter attack teams over a period of a few hours, firefighters were able to gain control of the fire and get access to all voids.
Responding agencies assisting Luxemburg Fire were Casco, New Franken, Kewaunee, and Denmark. Luxemburg Rescue assisted on scene. B.U.G. Fire stood by at the Luxemburg Fire Station in case of a 2nd alarm. Kewaunee County Officers shutdown Highway 29 for the duration of the call.
There were no injuries. Cause of the fire is a probable lightning strike.
Congratulations to Firefighter Dustin Smith for taking 1st Place at the Kewaunee County Fair cook off competition. Good job Dustin!!!
Thanks to all of you for your support at our pancake/porky breakfast. After missing a year, it was a pleasure seeing all of you again. Serving over 1200 plates, you were part of a record setting year. We can’t do it without you. Thanks again!!!
We had a couple of special guests at the Fire Station last week!!
The weather forecast is looking great for Sunday morning we hope to see you all at the Fire Station!!
The Luxemburg Fire Department is hosting St. Norbert College and UWGB ROTC students for the night. They are walking from Green Bay to Milwaukee in support of Veterans suicide awareness. The first leg of their trip was from Lambeau Field to Luxemburg totaling 46,000 steps or about 20 miles. Donations can be made on their page, “For Them-140 Mile Ruck.” Thank them and consider donating to this worthy cause.
Firefighters recently received valuable training by smoking an old farmhouse performing numerous tasks. Training involved search & rescue, maydays, advancing a hose line, radio communications, RIT operations, ladder truck, and pump operations. Also discussed were different ventilation tactics. New officers were given the opportunity to practice being the incident commander. We want to thank Rick and Debbie Kudick for use of the farmhouse.
Here are Luxemburg Fire Department’s three new officers who applied for and were selected to newly opened lieutenant positions. From left to right, Lieutenants Don Brien, Mike Beyer, and Bob Romuald. They are currently taking officer classes. Each brings a unique skill set to this position. Join me in congratulating them.
Luxemburg Firefighters hone their skills while practicing in cold water rescues. Firefighters need to be prepared for any type of incident they may encounter.
From our firefighter family to your family, we wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season.
The department’s October Brat/Burger fry has been cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The decision was made keeping the safety of the community in mind. We encourage everyone to follow the CDC and State guidelines by wearing masks and washing hands often. The sooner we follow these recommendations, the quicker we can beat this. Thanks to everyone for your continued support and be safe.
Once again we are happy to host St. Norbert College ROTC students for the night. They are walking from Green Bay to Milwaukee in support of Veterans suicide awareness. The first leg of their trip from Lambeau Field to Luxemburg totaled 46,000 steps or about 20 miles. Donations can be made by going to their page, For Them -140 Mile Ruck. Let’s all thank them and where possible donate to this worthy cause.
Last night firefighters were trained on using our new lift air bags. Firefighters purchased 2 high pressure stackable lift bags with each bag capable of lifting over 70 tons. Medium pressure lift bags capable of lifting over 13 tons to 40” were also purchased. New regulators, controllers, safely couplers and hoses were also bought. This purchase totaling over $15,000 was made possible by donations made to the department. We thank everyone for their donation and support in making this possible.
One of the many emergencies firefighters respond to are propane fire incidents. Luxemburg Firefighters trained Monday night on managing those incidents. The program was put on by Fire LLC, with Lakes Gas supplying the propane. Gatorade was donated by KCRA AKA The 'Burg Speedway. We thank the County for allowing us to use the fairgrounds, our Training Officer Mike for setting it up, and all agencies that provided this valuable training.
Luxemburg Community Fire Department sends our condolences to Casco Fire Department and family.
Our condolences to Kewaunee Fire Department and Family.
From the Luxemburg Community Fire house to yours, we wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season.
Appleton Fire Department
The deadliest fire in United States history began on this day in 1871 in Peshtigo, WI. The Great Pesh*tigo Fire is often overshadowed by the Great Chicago Fire which began on the same date.
The Great Chicago Fire changed the way the fire service approached prevention activites. The Great Pesh*tgo Fire was by far the most tragic. It is estimated that between 1,200 and 2,400 people were killed during the fire and millions of dollars of property and timberland were destroyed. Over 1.5 million acres (2,400 square miles) of forest was destroyed. The death toll in Chicago was approximately 250.
The Peshtigo Fire Company had a single, horse drawn steam pumper for fighting fires in the sawmills, but there was virtually no other technology available for fighting structure fires, much less a forest fire of such great magnitude. The people were essentially trapped in the town, surrounded by by wooden buildings and sidewalks, sawdust-strewn streets and a burning forest.
The fire continued to burn until it reached the waters of Green Bay, the storm winds died down, and the rain came.
Thanks to everyone who supported us at this years hamburger/brat fry!!! We had a lot of fun from serving the food and refreshments to the raffles. Topping it off with the two bands, the John Hruska Orchestra, to the featured band the Cougars. We hope everyone enjoyed their night. Once again we Thank You!!!
We enjoyed participating in the Fall Fest 2019 Craft Market at Fireman’s Park. So many of our future firefighters got a firsthand look at the fire truck.
St. Norbert College students walking from Lambeau Field to Milwaukee for awareness regarding Military Veterans suicides. Their overnight stops are in Luxemburg, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Sheboygan, Belgium, North Milwaukee, finishing at Veterans Park on Milwaukee’s lakeshore. Thank these gentlemen for their 6 day, 140 mile journey. Donations can be made at https://hooahinc.org/event/for-them-ruck-march/ or check, credit card, or cash will be accepted by the walkers. We welcome their stay at the Luxemburg Fire Station.
Come on out and join us this Sunday!! We will be serving from 7a-11a at the fire station!! We hope to see you there!!
The Luxemburg Community Fire Department sends our condolences to Appleton Fire Department, family, and friends with the loss of one of their own. We send our thoughts and prayers.
Luxemburg Fire Press Release 20190411-01
On April 10th at 3:45pm, the Luxemburg Community Fire Department was dispatched to N7435 Rendevous Road in the Town of Red River for smoke in a house.
While in route, firefighters were notified from the dispatch center that the house was fully engulfed. The occupants all got out safely. The fire was quickly upgraded to a multiple alarm fire.
Upon arrival firefighters found a 2 story single family residence with heavy fire throughout the interior of the structure. There was also a barn close to the house directly downwind of hot blowing embers. Firefighters knocked down much of the fire in the house from a defensive position. Crews also watered and foamed the barn to prevent it from starting on fire. As firefighters worked on extinguishing the house fire, a separate crew was sent to investigate the interior of the barn. That crew found cattle in a smoke filled barn and firefighters were able to get the cattle out.
With fire suppression in the home becoming difficult, the decision was made to try to knock down the remaining fire with an interior attack crew. As firefighters worked their way through the home up to the second floor, conditions worsened with the likelihood of flashover, and the decision was made to pull firefighters out of the structure. Most of the remaining attack was made from a defensive position.
The home and contents are considered a total loss.
The Red Cross provided food for firefighters and assistance to the occupants.
Fire departments who provided assistance on scene, at fill sites, or backfilling stations were: B.U.G., Southern Door, Algoma, Kewaunee, Casco, New Franken, Denmark and Tisch Mills. Luxemburg Rescue stood by on scene.
Firefighters remained on the scene for over 5 hours.
There were no injuries.
Cause of the fire remains under investigation.

A video from the early stages of Friday nights fire showing firefighters getting setup near the barn.
One of our fire drills is practicing knots we use on the fire ground. The video shows firefighters practicing with these knots.
A Luxemburg Firefighter breaches a wall in a smoke filled environment during a recent training exercise. This training provides firefighters a method to escape entrapment, or access to others who may be trapped. The video shows the firefighter in full gear wearing breathing apparatus (SCBA) putting a hole through the wall using an axe. After breaching the wall, the firefighter keeps their air mask on still connected to the air tank, but removes their air tank from their back and crawls through the hole. They successfully gained access to others or escaped entrapment. The department thanks those who have given us access to their structure which allows this training to be provided.
