New London VFD

08/27/2026

At approximately 14:00 this afternoon, the unit was dispatched as mutual aid to County Road 3206 to assist on a grass fire along with Carlisle Volunteer Fire Dept, Cushing VFD, Laneville Fire Department, Mount Enterprise VFD, New Salem VFD and Reklaw VFD.

From what we understand is that this was started from a burn pile but units on scene were able to fairly quickly get it under control. Just a reminder, just because we got maybe the slightest hint of rain, it doesn’t mean we can burn. Rusk County is still under a burn ban and that little tiny bit of rain did nothing but make it worse. Please don’t burn, especially now. It’s hot and it’s dangerous.

Also say Hi to Kenny, one of our firefighters who responded to this call.
