Welcome From The Chief

On behalf of the men and women who make up the Waupun Fire Department, I welcome you to the City of Waupun. Whether you’ve lived here your whole life or you’re just passing through, we are glad you’re here and stand ready to serve you.

Our members are the heart and soul of the department, working tirelessly to continuously improve and ensure the safety of all people and property in our coverage area. Our members have a combined 316 years of service for an average of 10 years per member. Our staffing includes one full-time Fire Chief, one full-time Assistant Fire Chief/Fire Inspector, and 28 professional volunteers. We are grateful for the employers who allow our members to leave work and respond to calls.

The Waupun Fire Department operates out of one fire station and provides service to the City of Waupun and the Townships of Chester, Trenton, and Waupun. In total, we are responsible for the safety of over 14,000 residents within a 105 square mile area.

Our mission is to continuously improve and ensure the safety of all people and property through a professional attitude, the highest level of training and competence, and a respect for those we serve. We continue to evolve into an all-hazards department, responding to all threats and hazards to public safety. In addition to fire and rescue services, we are actively involved in fire prevention programs, community risk reduction education, inspection services, and continuing education for our members.

We are grateful to our local government body for their support. This has allowed us to take a proactive approach to safety within the community which is reflected in our ISO class 3 rating. This is a very favorable rating used by insurance companies to set insurance premiums for homeowners and businesses within the community. This rating is established through a comprehensive audit of the fire department, the water utility, and the dispatch center.

Please call us at 920-324-7910 with any questions or concerns and thank you for allowing us to serve you!
