the little city that does big things

The City of Kiel Fire Department and Ambulance Service was formed in 1892 and is a single entity that provides fire, rescue, emergency medical services (EMS), and all other emergency services to the City of Kiel, Town of Schleswig, Town of Russell (EMS only), and portions of the Town of Rhine (EMS only) and Town of New Holstein (EMS only). The department is a combination that is comprised of volunteer, paid-on-call, and part-time members. This means that when the department is dispatched to an incident, available members respond to the station from their homes, places of work, or wherever they may be. The City of Kiel Fire Department and Ambulance Service responds to over 700 calls annually. The department also provides mutual aid assistance to other area departments through the Wisconsin Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS).

We are dedicated to serving the community by providing protection of life and property from the effects
of fires, medical emergencies, and all hazards. The City of Kiel Fire Department and Ambulance Service
always maintains a constant state of readiness to respond to all requests for services through high-quality training, maintenance of equipment, and a desire to serve our community.

Since 1938, the City of Kiel Fire Department and Ambulance Service has been providing prehospital emergency care to the greater-Kiel area. Starting in 2021, the department upgraded our license to the paramedic transporting level.
