Happy International Women’s Day!

In the United States, women make up 5% of career firefighters and 11% of volunteer firefighters. We are proud to be able to say that 40% of the members of your Monona Fire Department are women (19 out of 48)! They serve in all roles, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, full time, part time, and volunteer, and in leadership roles. We could not function without them and all that they do.

If you are paying attention, just a couple of years ago we were at 30% But we can do better! We are always accepting applications for volunteer firefighters and EMTs. No experience required! Reach out to us if you’re interested!

Dane County Emergency Management is canceling the December test of the outdoor warning siren system, which had been scheduled for noon on Wednesday. The decision was made due to concerns that freezing temperatures and ice buildup on the equipment could result in damage to the siren heads and motors.

Except for the specific locations above, the police department will ticket and tow vehicles parked on Monona streets that obstruct snow removal operations. It is essential to have the roadways clear so that Public Works crews can clear streets for emergency vehicle access during the snow event.
