Date & Time: January 26th, 2026 @ 1007am
Incident Type: Structure Fire
Address: 6526 Asbury Rd

The Asbury Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire at 6526 Asbury Rd Monday morning. Upon arrival at the scene, it was discovered that the garage was fully involved with visible fire and smoke. All occupants and a dog were evacuated upon initial arrival and were safe, and no civilian injuries were reported.

An initial attack was attempted to try and stop the spread of the fire but was unsuccessful. The fire then became a defensive operation and was eventually controlled at approximately 1:30pm. Due to the extensive damage to the residence, the structure is deemed a complete loss. The Red Cross has been contacted and is assisting the family members displaced by the fire.

An investigation into the fire is ongoing with the Iowa State Fire Marshal but does not appear suspicious at this time.

Assisting the Asbury Fire Department at the scene were fire departments from Sherrill, Centralia-Peosta and Dubuque, the Asbury Police Department, the Dubuque County Sheriff’s Office and the Iowa State Fire Marshal’s Office.

With the first snow of the winter season coming later tonight, please remember to try and help keep hydrants clear that may be close to your house. Keeping the hydrants clear helps firefighters in an emergency and saves precious time! Don’t travel unless absolutely necessary until roads have been cleared. Stay warm and stay safe!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Asbury Fire!
