City of Platteville Expresses Gratitude for Fire Facility Donation
The City of Platteville extends its sincere thanks to the Fire Facility Fundraising Committee, co-chaired by Paul Budden and John Fick, and to Inspiring Communities Inc., for their extraordinary support on behalf of city and township taxpayers.
Their generous contribution of $1.5 million has made a lasting impact—enhancing the new Fire Facility with features that reflect deep appreciation for our dedicated volunteer firefighter force and a strong sense of pride in our community.
Platteville’s first organized fire protection came about in 1874. After a disastrous fire on the night of April 15, 1874, a paper was circulated and signed by some 60 businessmen of the village to meet and form an organization to protect the village against fire. On May 6, 1874, a committee met in the town clerk’s office and drew up an application to the village board for the organization of the Hook & Ladder No. 1.
