The Marshfield Fire and Police Commission meeting on November 12, 2026, approved police and fire department bills and Budget Resolution 21-2026, which reallocates available capital funds for fire department projects, including the training center, a UTV support trailer, and apparatus LED lighting. Fire bills included an Opticom preemption system item of about $4,345 and rope-rescue training of $6,350. The commission also approved selecting Braun as manufacturer for a replacement ambulance scheduled for delivery in 2029; staff reported receiving five bids and cited the department’s experience with Braun vehicles and manufacturer training. A forest-fire protection grant of approximately $10,033 was accepted and forwarded for finance committee review.

The commission approved forwarding proposed fire-protection fee schedule changes for further review, including fees for wildland, solar-panel, and energy-storage fires and an increase to the vehicle-fire fee; final consideration by the relevant committees and Common Council remains pending. Staff also discussed a fire-station and staffing study, training-center improvements, and the department’s fire-protection rating, but no related contract award was made. Police and fire staffing, training, and operational reports were also discussed.
