public safety building
We are housed in the Mount Horeb Public Safety Building. A Grand Opening Ceremony was held Monday, June 17, 2019. The new facility houses both the Mount Horeb Area Joint Fire Department and the Village of Mount Horeb Police Department and features shared spaces such as training/conference areas, Emergency Operations Center, restrooms, exercise areas, and a public lobby. FDMH has also added bedrooms, intern quarters, and many more functional areas to the fire and EMS portion of the facilities.
Our new station features a blend of technology and tradition in a tastefully and delightfully decorated engine house. You need not be a firefighter or a fire buff to capture the delight that is present. Visitors will see fire and rescue apparatus-all in a rich and unusual jet black, a marvelous toy fire engine collection, antique memorabilia including fire fighting equipment, framed prints and original paintings, complete with two fire poles, one functional and one historic. No visiting hours are actually scheduled , but seldom is there a time when members are not present to conduct tours.
