Village of Maple Bluff Residents and Friends,

It is with great gratitude, excitement, and a deep sense of responsibility that I share the news of my appointment to Fire Chief/EMS Director for the Village of Maple Bluff. Having served the past two years as Assistant Fire Chief, I am truly honored to continue my service to this exceptional community in this new capacity.

During my time with the Maple Bluff Fire Department, I have had the privilege of working alongside an extraordinary team of first responders and Village staff whose dedication, compassion, and professionalism consistently inspire me. Their support, shared vision, and collaborative spirit have shaped me into the leader I am today. I am proud of what we have accomplished together and am eager to build on that strong foundation.

Maple Bluff is special. There’s a genuine sense of community here, residents care deeply for one another, and their trust in the Fire and EMS services is something we do not take lightly. As Fire Chief/EMS Director, I am committed to honoring that trust through transparency, preparedness, and a continued focus on excellence in service. My goal is to preserve the traditions that make the MBFD unique while seeking new opportunities for growth, training, and innovation.

I look forward to continuing to serve this community alongside the remarkable team of the Maple Bluff Fire Department. Together, we will ensure that Maple Bluff remains a safe, resilient, and welcoming place for all who call it home.

Thank you for this incredible opportunity and your ongoing support. I am proud to serve you, and I look forward to the work ahead.

Ethan Nelson
Fire Chief/EMS Director
