Badger Fire and Rescue

We train so that if we are ever faced with critical situations, we are fully prepared to handle them. Back in March, our crew spent valuable time training with Sim-IA.
​Seeing stories like this reminds us exactly why we put in the hours. We are proud to stay ready for our community, no matter the call.

A central Iowa first responder is crediting a training program for helping him save a life. He received that training just one day earlier. Story link in the comments.

From a large-scale drill in the morning at the Fort Dodge Regional Airport to vehicle extrication training in the evening at Mid-Iowa Towing, yesterday was all about preparation.

​A couple of members of the Fort Dodge Fire Department joined us and shared some techniques they use in patient extrication techniques. Training together makes us stronger for the community we serve.

Thank you to FDFD for joining us and ​thank you to Mid-Iowa Towing for the vehicles and training space!

This morning Badger Fire participated in a large scale drill at the Fort Dodge Regional Airport. We were joined by Fort Dodge Airport personal, Fort Dodge Firefighters Local 622, Army National Guard, Webster County EMA, LifeFlight Des Moines LifeFlight 2, as well as airline representatives. Badger Fire assisted with triage of patients, patient care, and set the landing zone for LifeFlight 2 to land. After all the patients were gone from the scene a fire was started and the airport AARF truck extinguished the fire and Badger Fire supplied the AARF truck with water. It is really a valuable opportunity to work with multiple different agencies and understand everyone's capabilities.
