Town of Hewitt Fire & Rescue

Town of Hewitt Fire & Rescue is an all-volunteer department serving the Town of Hewitt and our surrounding communities through mutual aid.

Fire Prevention & Education

The best way to fight fire is to prevent it from happening in the first place! Here are a few of the things we do to help educate and engage people in our coverage area:

Firefighting

We fight fires. If it's big or complicated, we call neighboring departments for mutual aid, and they do the same with us. We often work with Town of Easton, Pine River, Town of Ringle, Town of Texas, and Town of Wausau. If there's a big need elsewhere, we may be paged as part of a statewide mutual aid program called MABAS (Mutual Aid Box Alarm System).

Medical Services

All of our medical responders are state-licensed Emergency Medical Responders. When you call 911, we are dispatched to provide care and stabilize patients until the ambulance arrives from Wausau. We partner with the City of Wausau Fire Department for medical Advanced Life Support (ALS) and transport.

Interested in supporting our mission with a tax-deductible donation? The easiest way is to send a check to the Town of Hewitt, with "Fire Donation" in the memo line.

Volunteer

We are always looking for volunteers! Join as fire, med, or both. Training is sponsored by the state and/or department. If you have other skills that you are willing to contribute, let us know! Love event planning? Help us plan our annual fundraiser!
