The Norway Fire Department would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the students and staff of the Muskego High School Custom Fabrication Class, under the direction of Instructor Joe Britt, for their outstanding work in designing and constructing our new custom podium.

From the initial concept to the finished product, the craftsmanship, attention to detail, creativity, and professional displayed throughout this project have been truly remarkable. The finished podium is not only functional, but also a beautiful representation of pride, dedication, and talent of the students who helped bring it to life.

The quality of work exceeded our expectations in every way. It is evident that a tremendous amount of time, effort, and pride went into every detail.

Projects like this demonstrate the incredible value of career and technical education programs, and this positive impact they have on our communities. These students have developed skills and will serve them well throughout their career as well also leaving lasting legacy within our department.

On behalf of the members of the Norway Fire Department, thank you to instructor, Joe, Britt, and the talented students of the Muskego High School Custom Fabrication Class for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence. We are honored to display and use the podium for many years to come.

Your work is created something truly special, and we couldn’t be prouder to showcase it.

The fire department follows guidance from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources burning map.

Even after a ban is lifted, restrictions can change quickly based on weather (wind, humidity, and dryness).

Please pay particular attention to the wind/windy conditions.

🔥 Fire Safety Reminder 🔥
Conditions this time of year (March–June) can change quickly.

Dry leaves, dead vegetation, and recent high winds mean fires can start easily—and spread fast.

Even a small spark from equipment, ci******es, or embers can ignite a fire, especially in grassy or brush-filled areas near our lakes and rural properties.

⚠️ Please stay alert and take precautions:
�• Avoid burning on windy days
�• Properly dispose of ci******es
�• Use equipment carefully
�• Never leave fires unattended.

Let’s all do our part to prevent accidental fires and keep our community safe.

As a reminder you do need to call and get permission to burn. You should speak to a FD member and leave your information. Calling and leaving a message does not constitute a permit.

The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) annual “Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters” tribute from April 26 to May 3, 2026, in honor of Firefighters who have died in the line of duty.

The purpose and meaning - The campaign invites communities across all 50 states to light up homes, businesses, firehouses, landmarks, and public spaces in red as a symbol of remembrance and support for the families of fallen firefighters.

The NFFF notes that these lights “say their loved one is never forgotten” and that “their sacrifice still matters”.

The Wind Lake Volunteer Fire Company lost a member that we’d like to take a moment to recognize.
