Caldwell Fire Dept. Push in Ceremony
Published on April 22, 2025
The Caldwell Fire Department (CFD), in partnership with the Caldwell Rural Fire District and the Caldwell City Council, is proud to announce a historic milestone as Station 8 becomes the first in Caldwell Rural Fire District history to be staffed with full-time, paid personnel. Once vacant—and previously operated by dedicated volunteer firefighters—the station now stands ready to deliver timely essential fire and life safety services to the rural community.
Thursday, May 1 will mark the station’s first day of operational service, complete with personnel and fire apparatus. To celebrate, CFD invites all residents, families, and community partners to join in at the push-in ceremony, tour the station, and meet our firefighters and staff.
“This day represents partnership and progress,” said Chief of Operations Matt Shupe with Caldwell Fire. “With Station 8 now staffed and operational, we’re strengthening our ability to provide timely, emergency response to this district. It’s a meaningful advancement for everyone involved.”
“It’s a proud and transformative moment for Notus,” said Administrative Fire Chief Mark Wendelsdorf with the Caldwell Rural Fire District. “Thanks to the collaboration between the Caldwell Fire Department, the Rural Fire District Commissioners, and the City Council, we’re opening the doors to a new chapter of service. We look forward to providing the highest level of protection and care to everyone in our fire district.”
