Carbon monoxide responses are easy to treat like routine calls. Most of the time, we are dispatched for an alarm activation, a beeping detector, or a vague report of someone “not feeling well.” There is no smoke showing, no visible hazard, and no obvious emergency from the street.

Please let March be warmer than what we have seen so far in February.

The 20^th Annual Memorial Service will be held Sunday, June 8, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. at the Firefighters Memorial in Coralville (Exit 242 off Interstate 80).

The traditional mission statement of the fire service is “Dedicated to the protection of lives and property.” “Lives” is listed first by design not chance.
