Fire Department

Mission

The mission of the Plymouth Fire Department is to protect the lives and property of its citizens and visitors, without prejudice or favoritism, from natural or man-made hazards and medical emergencies through prevention, education, and intervention.

About

Plymouth Fire Department (PFD) is a single entity that provides fire, rescue, emergency medical services (EMS), and all other emergency services to both the city and town of Plymouth, Wisconsin.  The Chief is the sole full-time employee. All other department members are 'paid per call', with minimal compensation for time spent during emergencies and training. This means that when PFD is dispatched to an incident, all available members respond to the station from their homes, places of work, or wherever they may be. 

Orange Cross Ambulance service is the primary Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provider for the city and town of Plymouth. However, the fire department also maintains an ambulance service licensed at the Advanced EMT level, which is placed on stand-by when all Orange Cross units are busy. Our ambulance is also used at incidents to provide care for emergency responders as well as at contracted events. Over half of our members are licensed EMS members.

Burn Permit

UPDATED 2024: Burn permits are no longer required for the City of Plymouth. A yearly burn permit is required for any resident wishing to burn within the Town of Plymouth, including recreational campfires and one-time brush burning. The form and fee can be filled out at the Town Hall.
