About Kilbourn Fire Department:
Kilbourn Fire Department proudly protects 7600 people living in an area of 210 square miles. We operate out of 1 station that protects a primarily rural area. Our department is a public department whose members are on a volunteer status.
Formed in 1891, the KFD is a completely unpaid volunteer fire department. We consist of 3 Companies: Company 1 = city fires; Company 2 = rural fires; Company 3 = rescue (med. emergencies, auto accidents, search & rescue, & rope/ice/water rescue). Our membership includes 34 active and 52 retired members. As a popular tourist area, the local population frequently swells to over 100,000 in the summer months.

The following was published in the Wisconsin Dells
Events, February 12, 1981, in honor of the
KVFD's 90th Anniversary:
Who Are These Men?
Who are these men . . .
Who leave desks and butcher blocks,
who leave a hot meal.
A social gathering,
a family get-together.
A warm bed in the middle of the night
in chilling below zero temperatures
Who leave a winning hand
a sale almost completed
a favorite television show . . .
They are men who have taken time and from their lives -- often at risk to themselves -- to protect our loved ones and our community.
They are the men of the Kilbourn Volunteer Fire Department.
Thank you KFD.
