Community Risk Education

The La Crosse Fire Department's Division of Community Risk Management's number one priority is the health and safety of La Crosse residents.

The Community Risk Management division collaboratively works with other agencies and organizations to analyze and assess risks within the La Crosse  community with the goal of preventing or mitigating the risks deemed to have the highest association to loss of life, and negative health, safety, and economic impacts.
