As authorized in § 60.55, Wis. Stats., fire protection
for the Town is provided pursuant to agreements between the Town and
the City of West Bend, the Allenton Volunteer Fire Department and
the Slinger Volunteer Fire Department.
The Fire Chiefs, within their respective jurisdictions, shall
direct the operation of their respective fire departments at fires,
subject to the rules and regulations which may be adopted by the Town
Board; issue and enforce such orders as in their judgment may be best
calculated for the protection of property and the extinguishing of
fires; enforce all applicable ordinances and rules and regulations
of the Town Board; report annually to the Town Board all fires occurring
in their respective jurisdictions within the Town, the origin thereof
if possible, together with the amounts and value of property destroyed
and the amount of insurance, if any; and make further reports when
requested to do so by the Town Board.
The respective Chiefs or their designated agents may prescribe
certain limits in the vicinity of any fire within the Town within
which any persons, excepting firefighters and police officers and
those admitted by order of any officer of the Fire Department, shall
not be permitted. They may cause the removal of any property whenever
it shall become necessary for the preservation of such property from
fire, or to prevent the spreading of fire, or to protect adjoining
property. They may likewise cause the shut off of electrical and natural
gas services where the same creates a dangerous hazard or interferes
with the work of the Fire Department during the progress of the fire.
