The Beaver Dam Police and Fire Commission met on Tuesday night to bring a plan to add additional firefighter/paramedics to the city. The Beaver Dam Police and Fire Commission agreed on bringing a question to the Beaver Dam City Council asking for voters in Beaver Dam to have the option of approving six additional firefighter/paramedic positions for the city of Beaver Dam. The commission wrestled with a similar question a week ago when decided to deny bring a referendum question to the city council. The special meeting on Tuesday was to reconsider that denial. Beaver Dam Fire Chief Alan Mannel spoke to the commission about needing additional staff members. Beaver Dam Fire Department currently has two full-time chiefs, 18 full-time firefighters/paramedics and 28 part-time on call firefighters.
