Fire station coverage in Wisconsin
🚒 ~915 fire departments in Wisconsin
Wisconsin's fire service is anchored by Milwaukee and Madison with career departments; the rest of the state uses combination and volunteer service. Many communities transitioned to combination service as suburban growth increased call volume beyond all-volunteer capability. The state has strong fire marshal oversight and one of the most active fire training programs in the Midwest. OSM coverage is thorough throughout the state.
