The fire in downtown Monroe late last week was a reminder that some of the most important community work happens quietly, without fanfare, and often far from home.

Lately, it feels like the New Glarus Fire Department has been getting called into action again and again. House fires, brush fires, car crashes — the kinds of emergencies that remind you how much a small town depends on the people willing to show up when something goes wrong. Most of
