New decade in the fire service

Greetings Fellow Firefighters - With the start of the new year, we are beginning a new decade in the fire service. I am looking forward to positive changes across the board for emergency services and can assure you the IFA Board will be doing everything in their power to promote education, safety and growth for the Fire Service of Iowa.

On Dec. 7, Pillager Area Fire and Rescue responded to a three-vehicle accident on Hwy 210.
