The Springwater Fire Department was established in 1903 and officially incorporated in 1947. In 2004, the organization changed its name from the Springwater Fire Company, Inc. to the Springwater Fire Department, Inc. Today, the department is an all-volunteer organization providing fire protection and Certified First Response for all medical calls within the Springwater Fire District. The district encompasses the entire Town of Springwater, covering 53.1 square miles and serving a population of 2,487, according to the 2023 census.
Monthly membership meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month, with training drills scheduled on the remaining Wednesdays throughout most of the year. Our department motto, “Neighbors Helping Neighbors,” reflects the heart of our mission. We are a service-driven organization dedicated to ensuring that our family, friends, and neighbors always have a helping hand when they need it most.
As with any organization, we welcome new members to join our ranks. All training is provided, and members may choose to serve as active firefighters. Support personnel also play a vital role in the department’s success, ensuring there is a place for everyone who wishes to contribute. Details on the various types of membership can be found on the Join Us page of our website.
We invite you to become part of the Springwater Fire Department. Applications are available at the Fire Hall, located on the south side of the hamlet. Membership options include Active Member, Active Staff, Restricted Member, and Social Member. A full description of each membership type is available on our website under the Join Us tab, where you can also print an application. Once completed, applications may be dropped off at the fire hall whenever a member is present.
The Springwater Fire Department is staffed entirely by dedicated volunteers who live right here in our community. We’re just like you—balancing full-time jobs, families, and everyday responsibilities—while choosing to give back to our neighbors. We invite you to join us and help protect the community we all call home. Training is provided through specialized classes as well as hands-on weekly drills. These drills focus on both fire and EMS skills and give members valuable experience with our apparatus and equipment. Training topics include EMS skills, fire operations, water rescue, rope rescue, and SCBA use. Drills are held on the 2nd and 3rd Wednesdays of each month, and our monthly department meeting takes place on the 1st Wednesday. Anyone is welcome to stop by, pick up an application, or tour the fire hall. There are always members available on Wednesday evenings to answer questions and show you around our facility.
