Media

Welcome to our Media page,

where we share in-depth coverage and updates on our latest community safety initiatives. The South Milwaukee Fire Department is dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of all our residents, with a special focus on our senior population. Through our "Fire Safety for Seniors" program, we've been actively involved in distributing lightweight fire extinguishers and providing essential safety education tailored to the needs of older adults. This initiative not only equips seniors with the necessary tools to protect themselves in case of a fire but also enhances their confidence in managing potential emergencies independently.
