The Ozaukee Central Fire Department officially began service on January 1, 2025 to provide Fire Protection and Emergency Medical services to the Villages of Grafton and Saukville, as well as the Towns of Grafton and Saukville. The OCFD is a consolidated and jointly funded Fire Department among the four communities. Funding is shared among the four communities using a formula based on use, population, and equalized value. The OCFD provides fire suppression and Paramedic-level emergency medical services (EMS), as well as fire prevention programs to the citizens and visitors within our service area.
Fire and EMS is provided with two fire stations, one located in the Village of Grafton and the other located in the Village of Saukville. Each station is comprised of both full-time and part-time responders. The Department also maintains mutual aid agreements with area fire departments and is a member of the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS) that enables the sharing of resources for major incidents throughout several states.
