May is National Water Safety Month, and as temperatures rise, more people are heading to lakes, rivers, pools, and beaches to cool off. 🌊☀️

Before you dive in, remember:
🚤 Always wear a life jacket when boating or participating in water activities
👀 Keep constant supervision of children near water
📱 Avoid distractions while swimming or watching others
🏊 Learn CPR and basic water rescue skills
🚫 Never swim alone

Our firefighters and rescue teams train year-round for water emergencies, but prevention is the best protection. A few simple safety steps can help ensure everyone enjoys the water safely this season.

Stay safe, stay alert, and make smart choices around the water.

May is National BBQ Month! It's a great time to fire up the grill and enjoy the season. Before you cook, don't take chances, put safety first:

🔥 Always keep grills at least 10 feet from homes, decks, fences, and anything flammable.

🔥 Never leave a hot grill unattended; accidents happen fast.

🔥 Clean grease and fat buildup regularly, fires start in seconds.

🔥 Make sure kids and pets stay 3 feet from the grill to avoid burn injuries.

🔥 Only use long-handled tools and wear close-fitting clothes; loose items catch fire easily.

🔥 Always check propane connections for leaks before lighting or risk explosions.

🔥 Keep a spray bottle, baking soda, or fire extinguisher nearby, ready for emergencies.

A safe grill is a happy grill. Enjoy BBQ Month responsibly! 🍔🌭

This week, we celebrate the incredible EMTs and local partners who step up every day to serve the Algona, Auburn, and Pacific communities with unwavering dedication.

From answering 911 calls to delivering life-saving care in the back of an ambulance, our EMS providers are always ready—24/7—to support patients and families when they need it most.

Did you know? All VRFA firefighters are Emergency Medical Technicians. In 2025, 84% of the 16,102 calls we responded to were for medical aid. We're proud of our firefighter/EMTs and the essential service they provide.

We're here for you!
