🔥🚒 International Firefighters’ Day 🚒🔥

Today, we pause to recognize the men and women who answer the call no matter the time, the conditions, or the risk.

Firefighters are more than responders. They are your neighbors, friends, mentors, and protectors. They show up on someone’s worst day with skill, compassion, and a commitment to serve something greater than themselves.

Being a firefighter requires an individual to:
đź’› Train tirelessly behind the scenes
💛 Stand ready at a moment’s notice
đź’› Put others before themselves

Today is also a time to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their legacy lives on in every call we answer and every life we touch.

To our firefighters, past and present, thank you for your dedication, your courage, and your service.

And to our community, thank you for your continued support of those who serve you.

🚑🔥 NOW HIRING - EMTs: Answer the Call to Serve 🔥🚑

There are moments in life when someone needs medical help and everything depends on who shows up.

At the Waupun Fire & Rescue Department, we’re looking for individuals who are willing to be that person.

đź’› The one who steps forward when others step back
đź’› The one who brings calm to chaos
đź’› The one who makes a difference when it matters most
đź’› Every call is an opportunity to change a life

As part of our team, you’ll:
- Support your neighbors, sometimes in critical moments
- Be part of a team that trains, grows, and succeeds together
- Gain real-world experience in pre-hospital emergency care

For many, EMS is more than service, it’s a starting point.
If you’ve ever considered a future in healthcare, this is your chance to:
- Build hands-on patient care experience
- Develop critical thinking and leadership skills
- Discover a path toward a meaningful career

No Experience? No Problem. We provide the training, mentorship, and support—you bring the commitment and heart.

If you’ve ever felt the call to serve, this is it. APPLY NOW!

Only 1 day left!! Alter Metal Recycling will be picking up the container tomorrow (4/30/26)

Got Scrap Metal? Looking to donate? Then look no further.

Alter Metal Recycling has chosen the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin Charitable Foundation, Inc. as the non-profit recipient of Alter’s GO GREEN FOR THE GREEN fundraising event. During the month of April, the proceeds from scrap metal donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar by Alter. Proceeds from this event will be used to support Charitable Foundation programming such as Peer Support, Burn Camp, and the PFFW Honor Guard.
There is a scrap metal drop off container located behind the Waupun Fire & Rescue Department. Not located in Waupun? Scrap metal can be dropped off at any Alter metal recycling location in Wisconsin. When donating at an Alter location, inform the scale attendant that the proceeds should be donated to the PFFW Charitable Foundation.

Please note that only metal items can be recycled by Alter. Electronics, batteries, and metal items containing compressed gases, fuel, oil, and coolants cannot be accepted.

🔥🌾 Elevated Fire Conditions in Our Area — Please Use Caution! 🌾🔥

Despite what seemed like unending rain last week, the vegetation has quickly dried back out. Due to dry conditions, low humidity, and increasing winds, fire danger levels are elevated across the entire state today. These conditions can cause even small fires to spread quickly.

We’re asking everyone to take a few simple precautions to help keep our community safe:
đźš« Avoid burning leaves, brush, or yard waste until conditions improve.
🚭 Dispose of smoking materials safely — never toss cigarette butts from a vehicle.
⚙️ Check for sparks or heat when using equipment like chainsaws, mowers, or ATVs.
🔥 If you’re having a campfire or using a fire pit, keep it small, attended, and fully extinguish it with water before leaving.
🔥 If you’re doing a controlled burn, make sure it is attended/supervised the entire time. Have water readily available in the event you need to put it out.

If you are planning a controlled burn, please contact the County Dispatch Centers non-emergency lines to make them aware of it. This reduces the chances that we get paged out unnecessarily.
Non-emergency numbers:
Dodge County - 920-386- 3726
Fond du Lac County - 920-929-3391

Your help makes a big difference in preventing accidental fires during these high-risk days. Thank you for doing your part to protect our community and first responders! We’ll continue to monitor local fire conditions and share updates as they change. Stay safe, stay aware, and let’s work together to keep Waupun fire-free.
