Message from the Chief

Residents, businesses, and visitors of Byron,

It is both an honor and a responsibility to serve as your Fire Chief. Every day, the members of the Byron Fire Protection District are committed to protecting lives, property, and the well-being of everyone who calls this community home. Whether responding to emergencies, providing fire prevention education, or supporting community events, our mission remains the same: to serve you with professionalism, integrity, and dedication.

Our firefighters and staff take great pride in being part of this community. Many of them live here, raise their families here, and share in the same values that make Byron such a strong and close-knit place. This connection drives our commitment to always be ready, always improving, and always looking for ways to better serve you. From training and equipment to communication and outreach, we are focused on ensuring we meet the needs of today while preparing for the challenges of tomorrow.

We also ask for your partnership in keeping our community safe. Simple actions—such as maintaining working smoke alarms, practicing fire escape plans, and staying mindful of seasonal hazards—can make a significant difference. Together, we can reduce risks and ensure a safer environment for everyone.

On behalf of the entire Byron Fire Protection District, thank you for your continued trust and support. It is a privilege to serve you.

Stay safe,

Andrew M. Politsch

Fire Chief
