Three firefighters in full protective gear (helmets, turnout coats with reflective striping, and air tanks) stand with their backs to the camera, facing a large wall of flames and heavy smoke. One appears to be holding a hose line while another places an arm around a teammate’s shoulder, suggesting coordinated response as they prepare to fight the fire.

Joint Meeting (March 10, 2026) – Presentation Now Available

The Village of Harrison is sharing the PowerPoint presentation from the joint meeting held on March 10, 2026, with the Town of Woodville regarding an update to the fire services contract between Harrison, Woodville, and the Village of Sherwood.

This presentation is being posted to help the public better understand the current operational costs and construction-related cost considerations associated with Harrison providing fire services to Woodville and Sherwood, and the factors being discussed as part of a potential contract update. The Village of Sherwood did not participate in this meeting.

Why We’re Posting This

The Village is committed to transparency and informed public discussion—especially on regional public safety services. The presentation provides a high-level overview of:

  • Current fire service operations and service delivery expectations
  • Major cost drivers and services provided by Harrison Fire-Rescue
  • Operational and Capital Cost Share Models
  • Topics under review as part of potential contract updates between the communities

Next Steps

The Village will continue working with neighboring communities to evaluate service needs, contract terms, and cost allocation approaches. Future meetings and discussion items will be posted in advance in accordance with applicable open meetings and agenda posting requirements.
