I know we have stated this before, but it needs repeating. Please close your bedroom doors at night. It can be the difference between life and death.

The Maple Grove Fire family is deeply saddened by the loss of former Assistant Chief Carl Wendling. Carl's career with our department commenced in 1972 and spanned over five decades, concluding with his retirement in 2025. His kindness, commitment, and passion for serving the community were exemplary. Carl was a great firefighter but an even better friend. We offer our sincerest condolences to his family and friends during this challenging time.

Rest easy brother, we will take it from here.

Maple Grove Fire Department collaborated with Hazelton Fire Department, Twin Township Ambulance, New Lothrop Police and the New Lothrop Drama club to conduct a mock disaster at New Lothrop High School, highlighting the risks associated with drinking and driving and distracted driving. Thank you to everyone that helped to make this event possible.

With the heavy rain we have received there is water over the roads in a few spots. Ferden at Bueche. Bueche between Ferden and Ditch will be impassable soon. Please use extra caution while driving.

With this warm weather there has been a lot of out of control outdoor fires. Remember the top vegetation is very dry. So please be careful. Also keep your eye to the sky as the next few days. Heavy storms are possible with damaging winds. If you see a down power line, stay away and call 911.

Did you know?
The Maple Grove Fire Department does much more than fight fires. One critical service we provide is vehicle extrication following serious motor vehicle crashes.
In the early years, the Maple Grove Fire Department did not have its own extrication equipment and relied on neighboring departments for assistance. This often-delayed patient removal and reduced the chances of survival. In the mid-1980s, the department purchased its first set of hydraulic rescue tools, commonly known as the Jaws of Life.
Today, the Maple Grove Fire Department is equipped with a wide range of modern extrication tools, including gas-powered and battery-powered hydraulic spreaders and cutters, battery-powered reciprocating saws with specialized vehicle-cutting blades, a battery-powered circular saw, and multiple vehicle stabilization devices.
When you see multiple fire trucks at the scene of a serious accident, know that our crews are bringing specialized equipment and trained personnel to safely and quickly dismantle damaged vehicles—helping injured victims receive prompt medical care.
