## Resource

Beloit’s city and town are merging their fire departments January 1st, forming a new joint commission to hire leadership and staff — a move born from taxpayer frustration over costly neighboring agreements and a push for self-reliance. The five-member commission will balance representation, with three from the city and two from the town, ensuring both sides steer this critical transition toward a stronger, more efficient emergency response for all residents.
