Grand Marsh . Town of New Chester . Adams County, Wisconsin
Design concept emblem. Not the department's official badge.
Nineteen neighbors,
one volunteer crew.
New Chester Township's all-volunteer fire department covers Grand Marsh and the Town of New Chester in the marsh country of central Wisconsin, staffed entirely by neighbors who train on their own time and answer the call.
The crew
A crew that lives here, and shows up here.
New Chester Township runs on volunteers. When the tones drop over Grand Marsh, the people who respond are the same people you pass at the co-op, the boat landing, and the ball field.
For years, an all-volunteer crew has covered the Grand Marsh area of Adams County: a stretch of lakes, marshland, farm roads, and Interstate frontage where the nearest help can be miles out. Nineteen trained neighbors keep that coverage in place, on their own time.

Coverage
Marsh country, covered by its own.
The department works out of a single station in Grand Marsh, in the Town of New Chester, Adams County, central Wisconsin.
Grand Marsh sits in the lake-and-wetland country of Adams County, where rural roads, farmland, woods, and open marsh spread out between small communities. It is the kind of place where a fast local response matters most, because the next-nearest department can be a long way off.
Nineteen volunteers hold that line for the Town of New Chester: training, maintaining the apparatus, and standing ready for fire and emergency calls across the area. This concept page is built to help more neighbors find them, and to make the ask to join as clear as possible.
