We are proud to once again be displaying our flag over the Memorial Day Parade. Trying a little different method this year with only one truck. Let us know what your favorite is! Parade starts at 9.

Clarification post! We are aware of and fully support the fire hydrant painting contest to celebrate the United States 250th. We have seen comments on several other posts regarding this and the NFPA color coding for hydrants as well as other safety concerns. While we greatly appreciate citizens wanting to ensure that we can perform our duties, we want to assure everyone that we can and will be able to find hydrants when necessary and this project will not interfere with the operation of the hydrants in any way. We are excited to see the creativity this brings out and can't wait to see all of the designs.

As you can see in this image, the Fire Danger is Very High in Langlade County. This screenshot is from the WisBurn website, which is shown in the address bar. You can check this site daily for updated fire weather conditions. Although the City of Antigo is outside of the DNR Protection area, we generally follow thier suggestions when it comes to burning. However, we do maintain our own ordinance for burning, which you can find here:
