The Willow River Fire Department was established in 1891 with the village council voting to formally organize a volunteer fire department in 1897. ​Along with Willow River, our Fire Department and EMS proudly serves the communities of Rutledge, Bremen Township, Kettle River Township and Norman Township.

Our Fire Department is made up of dedicated volunteers.  They meet on the first Thursday and third Monday of each month.  If you are interested in becoming a volunteer firefighter, please contact City Hall at (218)372-3733.
