The Beaver Dam Fire & Rescue Department is an ISO 3 rated department that provides fire and EMS-Paramedic level services to over 100 square miles in the Beaver Dam area with an estimated combined population of over 20,000 people. The area includes the entire City and surrounding Township of Beaver Dam. It also includes portions of the Townships of Calamus, Lowell, Trenton, and Westford. The department is considered a combination department because of the mix of full-time and part-time personnel required to perform daily operations. In addition to normal 911 operations, the department also provides emergent and non-emergent EMS inter-facility transports. Most transports are from the Beaver Dam Community Hospital to specialty facilities in Madison, WI or area skilled nursing facilities.
The paid-on-call component consists of approximately 21 firefighters including five Lieutenants. Part-time personnel respond to the station if the fire is within the city limits. For calls outside the city limits, members respond to the fire station and respond to the scene with the apparatus. All members are certified Entry Firefighter or Firefighter I. Some members maintain various levels of EMT certifications. Primary responsibilities include: fire suppression, search and rescue, extrication, and salvage and overhaul. The department also maintains numerous part-time EMT-Basics, Advanced EMTs and Paramedics, primarily for operating with inter-facility transports. Our current roster of POC Firefighters are, Lieutenants Erick Waugus, Tom McMenamin, and Gary Peck. Firefighters George Stegner, Andrew Stegner, Nick Smith, Kyle Nehr, Brad Modaff, Joe Robinson, Dave Schoenberger, Matt Bartol, Cody DeVries, Anthony Kuenzi, Brennan Buschke, Jim Yaroch, Sophie Willihnganz, and Jim Perkins.
The full-time component consists of 21 people including the Fire Chief, Deputy Chief and an administrative assistant (currently we have two vacant positions). Three Captains serve as shift commanders followed by three Lieutenants. The typical shift includes a total of six personnel working a 24-hour shift followed by 48-hours off-duty time. All full-time personnel are certified EMT-Paramedic or EMT-Advanced providers, Firefighter I or II, and Pump Operator I or II. Primary responsibilities include: apparatus operation, fire suppression, EMS response, fire inspection, petroleum tank inspection, fire pre-planning, vehicle and equipment maintenance, and other station duties.
