May is American Wetlands Month
A wonderful opportunity to CONSERVE WETLANDS and help educate others about their importance. Join thousands
of Americans each May in celebrating the uniqueness, beauty
and importance of wetlands.
In 2007, the theme is Alien Invaders: Invasive Species and
Wetlands. Because they are alien to North American wetland
landscapes, species like Purple Loosestrife and the New Zealand
Mud Snail wreak havoc on the plants and animals that are native
to our wetlands.
Every year, thousands more of these invasive species
are introduced into our waterways, costing us billions of
dollars in economic losses and causing irreversible damage
to some of our most beautiful and valuable landscapes.

FIRE DEPARTMENT NEWS
Since officially forming the Town of Beloit Fire Department
in the summer of 1956, the Fire Department has been providing
quality emergency services to residents and visitors in the
area. Today, the Fire Department consists of 10 full-time and
30 paid-on-call firefighters who responded to 916 emergency
calls last year and provides numerous non-emergency functions
to assure the safety in the Town. Due to the wide variety of
services provided, the Fire Department is more realistically
an emergency services department.
In February 1957, the current Fire Station #1 was dedicated
and the Fire Department officially went into business with the
first structure fire occurring the next day at Pat's Market
on Madison Road. In 1969, Fire Station #2 on Inman Parkway was
build and currently also serves as the Town Police Department.
Through the years, the Town's needs were such that a combination
full-time/volunteer department was warranted to provide the
needs of the area. Currently, Fire Station #1 is staffed 24
hours a day, 7 days a week along with 30 paid-on-call firefighters
assigned to each of the two fire stations.
The Fire Department's equipment and apparatus includes three
(3) engines, one (1) tanker, one (1) ambulance, two (2) support/utility
vehicles and one (1) rescue engine. An order was placed with
Seagrave for a new fire engine. The anticipated delivery
date is November 2003. Our response area includes all of the
Town of Beloit, six sections in the Town of Newark, and all
the Town of Rock south of the Airport on Hwy 51.
-ABOUT THE CHIEF- In October 2004, the Town Board appointed
Fire Chief Dennis Ahrens who has been in the fire service for
over 30 years. He was appointed in May 1989 Assistant Chief
Dennis Ahrens and has been with the department since 1973. Chief
Ahrens began his career with the Town of Beloit as a volunteer
working his way up through the paid ranks. He has previously
served as a Company Officer, Training & Safety Officer,
and Union President. He holds numerous certifications in the
fire service and an Associates Degree from Blackhawk Technical
College . He is actively involved in the multi-jurisdictional
Fire Cause and Origin Team serving as President. Chief Ahrens
may be contacted directly at 608-364-2994.
-FIRE/EMS TRAINING- Because the fire and EMS industry
demand a high level of training and continuing education, the
Fire Department continues to place a high emphasis in this area.
Over the years, the department has built a training tower behind
Station #1 and serves as a training facility through Blackhawk
Technical College for fire service classes and programs. Both
full-time and paid-on-call personnel train weekly and receive
hands on training in areas of EMS, firefighting, rescue, incident
command, emergency vehicle operation, infection control, hazardous
materials and tactical rescue. Often, you may see training being
conducted in homes scheduled for demolition, or at area businesses
and parking lots in addition to behind the station(s) or at
the training tower. The training and continuing education programs
provided adhere to the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) and the EMS standards set by our resource hospital, Beloit
Memorial. While all members of the department are certified
or licensed at various levels, many are attending collegiate
programs toward Associate and Baccalaureate degrees at accredited
colleges. All of the department's training is coordinated through
the Training Officer.
-MUTUAL ASSISTANCE- Because appointments are not possible
in emergency services, the Town of Beloit Fire Department maintains
mutual aid agreements with over 500 Fire Departments through
the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS) in northern Illinois
and Southern Wisconsin. We are part of MABAS Division 104, which
includes all of the Fire Departments in Rock County. There are
two types of mutual aid assistance that we utilize; one is automatic
mutual response, which is a pre-arranged response agreement
to provide immediate response to predetermined incidents and
locations. We currently have automatic agreements with Town
of Turtle, Orfordville and the City of Beloit. The other form
of mutual aid assistance is the MABAS mutual aid, which is a
system (between over 500 Fire Departments) to provide assistance
to each other in the event of an emergency that is beyond the
normal capabilities of any community.
-SPECIALTY TEAMS- In recent years, many fire departments
have taken on the additional responsibilities of providing assistance
in mitigating emergencies in areas not traditionally serviced
by fire service personel. These emergencies are hazardous materials
response, confined space, high angle and technical rescue. While
these types of emergencies do occur, the personnel with these
abilities have joined forces and resources with other members
within our MABAS agreement to provide a strong background in
training, response, mitigation and resources that is cost prohibitive
for individual departments. At the present time, we are members
of the Stateline Regional Technical Rescue Team and are part
of organizing a Regional Hazardous Materials Response Team with
5 other MABAS Divisions. Each of these response teams conduct
their training on a monthly basis to remain proficient in these
areas of expertise.
-FIRE PREVENTION/EDUCATION- Routine fire prevention inspections
and assignments are conducted by our full-time personnel at
all businesses in the Town. This includes pre-incident planning
and identification of special hazards or conditions based on
the particular business. Free home inspections are conducted
by calling the Fire Station at 608-364-2997.
Public Education programs include a variety of topics that promote
fire and life safety throughout the home and community. Personnel
work with area schools to conduct classes both in the schools
and in the Survice Alive House (www.jvlnet.com/fire/safety.html)
behind Fire Station #1. The house, built by firefighters from
a number of area departments, is similar to any home with the
exception that theatrical smoke allows us to create conditions
that children and adults, would be faced with in the event of
a residentionl fire. There are also a wide variety of topics
that range from fire safety education to Fire Station Tours
and visits to neighborhood block parties. Personnel are always
actively promoting safety within the community.
The Town of Beloit Fire Department takes great pride in providing
quality services to you. If you have any questions, please feel
free to contact us at 608-364-2997 or stop by Fire Station #1,
located at 2445 S. Afton Road.
