Emergency Services
The Green Bay Metro Fire Department provides a range of services to the Village, operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. These services include responding to structure fires, hazardous materials incidents, confined space rescues, and technical rescues. On average, the Village receives around 1,000 emergency calls each year.
Fire Suppression
The Village of Bellevue contracts fire & rescue services from Green Bay Metro Fire Department. This allows for improved service levels and control on service delivery costs at an efficient rate for citizens.
The Village receives all services provided by the GBMFD and questions should be directed to GBMFD at (920) 448-3280.
Emergency Medical Response
Green Bay Metro Fire Department Services provides paramedic level care for the Village. During staffed hours, an engine company from Station 9 first responds to emergency medical calls to assist GBMFD. Having a response from the west side of the Village maximizes coverage with an ambulance responding from the east side of the Village.
MABAS
Occasionally, the Fire Department may need to request additional assistance from neighboring communities during emergency calls. In these situations, they will utilize the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS). This system operates in most counties throughout the state, including Brown County. MABAS provides communities facing large-scale emergencies with essential equipment and personnel during significant incidents. You can visit the MABAS website for more information.
Emergency Management
There are four phases to emergency management. One phase is mitigation. This phase includes any activity that is geared towards preventing an emergency, reducing the chance of an emergency occurring, or reducing the effects of those emergencies that are unavoidable. An example of mitigation is purchasing flood insurance for your home. Mitigation occurs before and after the incident.
Another phase of Emergency Management is preparedness. This phase is where the response plans are developed and the training exercises are conducted. Examples of preparedness are developing evacuation plans and stocking supplies such as food an water. This phase occurs before the emergency occurs.
Once an emergency occurs the response phase becomes active. This phase will include actions taken to save lives, stabilize the incident to prevent it from getting worse, and conserve property. Response can also include evacuation to shelters and providing mass care to those affected. The response phase takes the preparedness plans and puts them into action. This phase occurs during the emergency.
Finally, there is the recovery phase. This phase occurs after the emergency and includes any economic recovery, debris management, temporary or permanent housing, and health and social services. Essentially these are actions taken to return the area to normal or make it an even safer situation. An example of this would be acquiring financial assistance to help pay for damage repair.
Please visit the emergency management section under municipal code to view the Village responsibilities during emergencies.
F.A.Q.’s
I called for an ambulance, why did a fire truck show up?
The Green Bay Metro Fire Department has trained staff available to respond to medical emergencies with the ambulance. Many times medical calls will require extra help. In addition to helping the ambulance crew many times the engine will arrive first and begin administering care.
Why do the firefighters take the fire truck on building inspections?
We cannot control when emergencies happen and need to be able to respond at all times. The inspectors are on duty firefighters who need to be available to respond to an emergency while doing an inspection. Extra time required to go back to the station to get the trucks and equipment is unacceptable for the people who called for help.
Do I need a permit for open burning in Bellevue?
Yes, open burning is prohibited and a permit can only be granted with the Fire Departments discretion. Open burning regulations can be found here Open Burning Ordinance
Am I allowed to have a campfire at home?
Yes, the fire pit regulations can be found here Fire Pit Ordinance
What do I do if an emergency vehicle is approaching with lights and sirens?
Please pull your vehicle to the right side of the road and stop. This will clear the lane and allow us to pass. If you are in a roundabout, please go through and clear the roundabout, then pull to the right and stop. Remember to look for other vehicles before moving to the right, as we do not want any injuries to result from our response.
Sometimes I see the firefighters getting food for lunch, where does the money for this come from?
The firefighters pool their money together and purchase meals for the day.
