The Tilden Volunteer Fire Department provides First Responder emergency services and fire protection.

VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS AND FIRST RESPONDERS ARE ALWAYS NEEDED!

Tilden Volunteer Firefighters and First Responders are part-time Town of Tilden employees. Tilden pays for
meetings, training, and responding to fire calls. The Tilden Volunteer Fire Department is currently looking
for people to join this dedicated group. Many of the current Firefighters and First Responders have
full-time jobs, so daytime help is especially needed. If you are interested or want more information call
or email: Chief David Goettl 715-495-1188 

CHECK SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS
If your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are more than 10 years old, it would be a good idea
to replace them. Carbon monoxide detectors are required on every floor. Change the batteries in your
smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors with daylight saving time in the spring.

911 NUMBERS:
Must remain on the same side of the road in which they were originally placed. Must be visible and erect.
It is the landowner’s responsibility to maintain and care for the numbers. Call if they need to be replaced.

New fire numbers can be requested from Chippewa County.

REMEMBER TO:

Have your furnace serviced and clean your chimney.......It could save your family’s lives.
Check your fire extinguisher that it is in good working order and charged.

BURN PERMITS ARE REQUIRED:
You may NOT leave a message saying you are going to burn. One of the people listed below will give
you a burning permit number. There is NO burning on Sundays or Holidays. Please be responsible,
especially when conditions are dry or windy. You may burn at night.

BURN PERMITS not required for burning barrels, campfires or cookouts but are REQUIRED for ALL other fires.
