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 Norway Fire Department would like to acknowledge “National Light the Night” Tribute for Fallen Firefighters.

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.
