WELCOME FROM THE CHIEF

Thank you for visiting the City of Oshkosh Fire Department Web Site,
I hope that you find the information we have provided both interesting and helpful.

As you review our site you will see that we are a very active, progressive fire department and provide many services beyond the traditional role of fire suppression. We pride ourselves on holding on to the strong traditions of service and dedication combining those with our wide array of services provided. It is our goal to provide the help needed when someone in our City is in need of emergency service. It is this goal, that leads to the types of services we provide and the training and equipment to deliver them.

Our number one asset in delivering these services is the people that make up the Oshkosh Fire Department. It takes a high degree of professionalism and technical expertise to serve the public as we do. As a rule, we are constantly training and re-evaluating our procedures to ensure that we meet the needs of our community in the most efficient means possible. This is our communities' fire department and that is where our focus lies.

As the Fire Chief of our department I thank you again for visiting our site. I truly enjoy serving this City and its' fire department and I believe we are fortunate to have a department of this caliber for a community of our size. Please browse our site, as there is detailed information on all aspects of our department and much more than I can summarize here.
