Cedarburg Fire & Rescue
The Town and City of Cedarburg jointly fund a fire department to provide fire and emergency medical services to the entire Cedarburg community. The City operates the main Fire Station No. 1 located at W61N631 N Mequon Avenue. The Town maintains Fire Station No. 2 located at 1350 Covered Bridge Road. The City maintains the fire hydrant system in the City, and the Town maintains two dry hydrants (connected to a pond) and ten 30,000 gallon cisterns which provide water for fire fighting. You can view the Town map showing the locations of the cisterns here.

10-Year Shared Services Agreement
The Town and City approved a 10-year Fire & EMS shared services agreement taking effect January 1, 2024, and going through 2033. One focus of the agreement was the development of a staffing plan that will expand the Cedarburg Fire Department by adding full-time positions between 2023 – 2028, in addition to moving from all volunteers to a Paid-On-Call (POC) model in 2024. The staffing level aims to transition from an Advanced EMT (AEMT) level agency to a paramedic level EMS agency. This increase in the level of service can be measured by the availability of more medications, additional skills and greater knowledge. This transition would allow the Cedarburg Fire Department to better treat a variety of injuries and illnesses, resulting in improved outcomes of those requiring EMS services, all with reduced response times due to personnel ready to respond 24/7.
The approved 10-year shared services agreement will be funded by the approved 2024 Fire/EMS referendum.
Joint Fire/EMS Committee
The Town and City created a joint Fire & EMS Committee as part of the 10-year shared services agreement. The duty of this Committee is to serve as an advisory board on budgetary matters related to the annual Cedarburg Fire Department Budget. The Committee is made up of six (6) members in total. Two members of the Town of Cedarburg Board of Supervisors, two members of the City of Cedarburg Common Council, and two resident members - one resident from the City of Cedarburg and one resident from the Town of Cedarburg make up the Committee.
