Our crew
Volunteers who show up for both calls.
The department is made up of volunteer firefighters and EMTs from in and around Manawa. When the pager goes off, the same neighbors respond, whether it is a fire in one of the rural towns or a medical call that needs the ambulance. It is a small, dependable crew covering a lot of ground along the Wolf River.
Because one group carries both jobs, every trained volunteer matters. That is what keeps fire protection and emergency medical care close to home for these communities.
