Saxeville Springwater Mount Morris Waushara County, Wisconsin

Sixty-eight years of neighbors answering the call.

The Saxeville-Springwater Fire Department is an all-volunteer company. Since 1957, local people have given their nights and weekends so the farms, lakes, and campgrounds of this corner of Wisconsin always have someone to call.

No career staff on a payroll. A crew of neighbors, paid per call, on the roads the moment the tones drop.

A rural company, kept running by the people who live here.

Saxeville-Springwater is an all-volunteer fire department, built the way rural Wisconsin has always built things: with the neighbors. There are no career firefighters on a payroll. When the tones drop, the people who answer are the same people you pass at the co-op, the shop, and the church lot.

The company covers rural parts of the towns of Saxeville, Springwater, and Mount Morris: farm country, homes and businesses, and a stretch of lakes and campgrounds that fills up every summer. When a call runs bigger than one department can handle, the crew rolls on mutual aid as a member of MABAS Division 151, and neighbors return the favor.

It has worked this way for a long time. Registered as the Saxeville Springwater Fire Engine Company, the department has been answering this county's calls since 1957. That is 68 years of a promise a small community keeps to itself.

This page is a design concept: a printed-almanac take on a department that predates most of the roads it runs. Heritage here is design flavor, drawn only from public records, never an invented claim.

What 68 years on call actually covers.

One company, three townships, and the lakes country in between. Read the register the way an almanac keeps its accounts, then see where each entry sits on the ground.

The next name in the register could be yours.

An all-volunteer department is only as strong as the neighbors who step up. Most ways to help do not require you to have ever set foot in a fire station.

Respond

Trained volunteers answer fire, crash, and rescue calls across the townships. You start with training and gear, not a resume. The department teaches the skills.

Drive and operate

Getting water to a rural scene is its own skill. Licensed drivers and pump operators move the trucks and run the supply so the crew on the line has what it needs.

Support and sustain

Scene safety, lighting, rehab, events, records, and word of mouth keep a company running. A few hours a month behind the crew adds up fast.

When seconds matter, here is what to know.

This is a design concept, not a dispatch line. In any real emergency, 911 is always first.

Call 911 first

For fire, a crash, or a medical emergency, dial 911. Dispatch pages the volunteer crew and gets the right help moving. Do not wait to reach the department directly.

Rural addresses

On country roads and cottage drives, a clear reflective fire number saves minutes. Give the dispatcher your number and the nearest crossroad so the crew finds you fast.
