History

The Brillion Fire Department is an independent volunteer-based department. It provides contract service to the Town of Maple Grove and areas east of Bastian Road in the Town of Brillion. The Brillion Fire Department also participates in the Calumet County Mutual Aid Agreement and has mutual aid agreements with the Village of Reedsville, Hollandtown, Collins, and Wayside.

The Brillion Fire Department was founded on January 16, 1882 to protect the settlement of Spring Creek from fire (later the settlement was named "Brillion.") The charter members gathered enough money to buy a used hand pump from the fire department at Two Rivers, Wisconsin. They then reorganized into two different departments - the Hook and ladder Company, and the Hand Engine Company.

Many years later, resulting in more technological advances, the two companies reunited to form a stronger department.
