We’ve had a lot of interest in sitting down and having real conversations about fire and EMS in Brown County—and we couldn’t appreciate that more.If you’re planning to attend, here’s a look at what we’ll be covering:
🔥 Response Times & Availability
What it really means to rely on a 100% volunteer department—and why there are times when no one is available to respond.
đźš‘ EMS Demand in Our Community
The majority of our calls are medical. We’ll break down what that looks like, how often ambulances are already tied up, and why that matters for you and your family.
⏱️ What Happens When No One Responds
We’ll talk honestly about the gaps—what a delayed response can mean in a fire, medical emergency, or rescue situation.
🏥 Transport & Healthcare Access
Why we often rely on ambulances coming from outside the county—and how that impacts patient outcomes and timelines.
đźš’ Staffing Challenges
Today’s reality: volunteers are working full-time jobs, raising families, and still trying to serve. We’ll discuss why the model is struggling and what that means moving forward.
đź’§ Water System Limitations
How our current hydrant system and water supply impacts firefighting capabilities—especially for larger incidents in town.
đź“Š The Numbers Behind the Reality
We’ll share actual call volume, no-response data, and trends so you can see exactly what we’re facing.
🔧 What Change Could Look Like
This isn’t just about problems—we want to talk about solutions. Paid staffing, combination models, and what it would realistically take to improve service.
đź’¬ Open Discussion & Questions
Most importantly—this is YOUR opportunity to ask questions, share concerns, and be part of the conversation.
We’re not here to sugarcoat anything—but we’re also not here to create fear. We’re here to provide transparency, education, and work toward real solutions together.
đź“Ť We hope to see you there. Your input truly matters.
