We are Mjölby Municipality. Together, we provide services and functions, build communities, and exercise authority. Our work benefits society with the citizen's best interests in focus – throughout life.

The Community Building Administration is one of Mjölby Municipality's six administrations, responsible for several central community functions. With approximately 450 employees, we work with planning, development, and management of the municipality's infrastructure, properties, parks, and outdoor environments. The administration is also responsible for water and sewage operations, waste management, meal services, cleaning, and rescue services.

The rescue services in Mjölby and Boxholm collaborate under the common name of the Rescue Service Mjölby/Boxholm. In the operational rescue service, the rescue chief has overall responsibility for six incident leaders and five shift teams, each consisting of a team leader and four firefighters. At the part-time station in Skänninge, there are three shift teams with two part-time firefighters in each shift.

In preventive work against accidents, the rescue chief has overall responsibility for systematic fire protection work towards municipal administrations and companies in the municipality. The rescue service also has an external training department with a training leader.
