Milwaukee FD

@MilFireDept and a number of local, state, and federal partners are conducting a readiness exercise at Fiserv Forum today. We sincerely apologize if we startled anybody. All is well in the area. We anticipate wrapping up around 4pm.

BREAKING: Massive response to an early morning apartment fire on W Fond du Lac Ave. Flames detected on the 1st, 2nd floors. 5 residents jumped from the 2nd story, 6 @MilFireDept rescues. @fox6now

@MilFireDept responded ACROSS THE STREET from ST16 (10221 W Fond du Lac) at 2:58 this AM for a well-advanced apartment fire - 6 people rescued via ladder w/ 2 adults/3 children taken to area hospitals for injuries. NO SPRINKLERS! @NFSAorg

The Vision Zero Summit is a free, community-wide event bringing together community leaders, transportation professionals, advocates, and residents to advance Milwaukee’s goal of eliminating traffic deaths and life-changing injuries by 2037. Register at: visionzerosummit.eventbrite.com

Hear about @MilFireDept response for the 4-story apartment fire on Saturday at 2615 S. Greeley Street? Hear about the civilians needing rescue or hanging from upper floor windows? No? You likely won't. ONE activated sprinkler head eliminated the need for all of that. @NFSAorg

MFD is proud of the impact that MORI is having in our City. MORI is the very first known fire department lead overdose reduction program in our Country. Since its inception in 2019, it has significantly reduced fatal overdoses with compassion and care. wisconsinexaminer.com/2026/03/30/how…

@MilFireDept & @MilwaukeePolice were challenged by @MayorMKE to engage in the @BloodCenterWI's Battle of the Badges Blood Donation Contest yesterday! Proud to say we won, but better we ALL won, especially those who will receive life-saving blood from the many donations!

@milwaukeedpw @MayorMKE This can oftentimes be miserable and thankless work! Water and freezing temps don't mix well - @MilFireDept cannot do our work without these incredible individuals. THANK YOU from us as well!

@MayorMKE joined Commissioner Kruschke & Superintendent Pauly to thank Water Works crews for their work this winter. After freezing temps and wind chills near -40, crews responded to more water main breaks & leaks, working in extreme conditions to keep Milwaukee's water flowing.

Thank you to everyone who donated blood yesterday during our MFD vs. MPD Battle of the Badges Blood Drive. Your donations can potentially save up to 96 of our local residents in need of blood. This is a win for everyone in our City and we couldn't be prouder of the outcome.

Let’s go, folks!!! @MilFireDept & @MilwaukeePolice are neck and neck in the @BloodCenterWI Battle of the Badges Blood Donation Contest!!! Look, even the Fire Chief is here!!!!!! All for a great, life-saving cause!!! James Lovell (7th) between Wells & State until 4:30pm today!

We were thrilled to host @MayorMKE at our Station 4 (Engine 4, Ladder, 3 & Curtis Ambulance) for lunch this past Friday! Great conversation, great food, and a great chance to introduce our members and all that they do! Thank you for taking time out of your busy to day to stop!
