All volunteer. Serving the village of Scandinavia, Wisconsin.

The crew that answers when Scandinavia calls.

An all-volunteer fire department made up of neighbors, giving their nights and weekends so the village and the rural roads of Waupaca County have someone to call.

No career staff on the payroll. Just a roster of local volunteers, on call, ready to roll.

A village department, kept running by the people who live here.

Scandinavia is a small village, and its fire department is built the way small villages have always built things: with the neighbors. There are no career firefighters on a payroll here. When the tones drop, the people who answer are the same people you see at the store, the shop, and the church parking lot.

The department covers the village of Scandinavia and the rural area around it in Waupaca County. That means long driveways, farm roads, and open country, the kind of ground where the nearest help is the crew that lives closest. Being all volunteer is not a shortcut. It is a promise the community makes to itself.

Scandinavia was settled by Norwegian immigrants, and the name is not an accident. The instinct to show up for a neighbor is older than the fire trucks. This concept leans on that folk-heritage character, quietly, the way the village itself carries it.

Answer the call in Scandinavia.

An all-volunteer department is only as strong as the neighbors who answer. There is more than one way to serve, and most of them do not require you to have ever set foot in a fire station. Pick a way to help and see where you would fit.

On the fireground

Respond as a firefighter

Trained volunteers answer fire, crash, and emergency calls across the village and the rural roads around it. You start with training and gear, not a resume. The department teaches the skills; you bring the willingness to show up when the tones drop.

No experience required to begin
Training and turnout gear are part of joining
You respond from home or work when you are available

Can't run calls? A volunteer department still runs on community support. Show up to the events, spread the word, and back the crew that backs you.

When seconds matter, here is what to know.

This is a design concept, not a dispatch line. In any real emergency, 911 is always first.

Call 911 first

For fire, a crash, or a medical emergency, dial 911. Dispatch pages the volunteer crew and gets the right help moving. Do not wait to reach the department directly.

Rural addresses

On country roads, a clear, reflective address number at the driveway saves minutes. Tell the 911 dispatcher your fire number and the nearest crossroad so the crew finds you fast.

The station

The department is based at 349 N Main Street in the village. For non-emergency questions, a burn permit, or joining the crew, use the contact channels below.
