We have a wide range of apparatus to serve our community. The Dodge County Office of Emergency Management has formed all communities in the county area alphabetically and given them a 2 digit designation. All fire units in Beaver Dam begin with "12" as the designator for our community. Different units are further subdivided into the following categories:
