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.

The 31st Annual Iowa Firefighters Memorial Service was held in Coralville, IA on June 14, 2026.

Busy times

   It’s that month when we all start thinking about what happened to summer. We say things like holy cow, I didn’t get anything done. Or oh crud, guess I’ll have to wait until next year.

Opportunities

   September was a busy month. 

   There were several District Fire Schools across the state. Board meetings, Fall Fire Conference and Memorial Service.

Sandstone Fire

On July 21, Sandstone Fire and their mutual aid partner Finlayson Fire and Rescue were dispatched to a Dell Road address for a fully involved mobile home.
