Cedarburg Fire Department
The Cedarburg Fire Department is a combination paid-on-call / full-time department made up of your neighbors, your friends and your relatives. We are committed to providing emergency services and fund raising activities to make the Cedarburg Fire Department the best of the best. It is only with your support by volunteering, that we can continue to provide first class service to our community. Not only is there a role for those that wish to fight fires and take care of the sick and injured, but there is another important role of fund raising that helps our community. It is through these fund raising efforts that allows the fire department to purchase our equipment and donate it back to Cedarburg. Which means, NO tax dollars were spent, just the sweat and hard work of those who volunteer at our fund raising events to give back to the community. CFD is a family and there is room for everyone in our family. Please consider joining today.
Behind the Scenes: Fire and Rescue
This month, we highlight two individuals who share a strong commitment to CFD.
After joining in 2017, Lindsay ran numerous EMS calls while studying for her nursing degree, she was awarded Responder of the Year three times before being promoted to Rescue Lieutenant in 2020. Eddie started out in our Explorer program, learning all about the fire service, then joined as a volunteer member earning his certifications for Fire and EMT. Eddie was promoted to Acting Lieutenant Engine Company this year. Not only do they share a passion and commitment for serving their community, but also to each other after meeting at CFD and becoming husband and wife!
We are very lucky to have them as part of our leadership team, participating in training and teaching our newer members while running calls for both Fire and EMS.
