The Cerro Gordo Fire Protection District would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Howard G. Buffett Foundation and the Macon County Board for awarding the Cerro Gordo Fire Protection District a $35,000 grant to purchase a new 2026 Polaris Ranger NorthStar 1000.
This new vehicle will greatly assist our department in traversing the nearly 70 square miles of Macon County that our district proudly serves. From emergency response in rural and difficult terrain to brush fire operations and patient access, the Polaris NorthStar will be an invaluable tool for our firefighters and the community.
We are incredibly thankful for the continued support of public safety and for the investment in the emergency services that protect our residents every day. Partnerships and support like this help ensure we can continue providing the highest level of service to our district.
Thank you again to the Howard G. Buffett Foundation and the Macon County Board for your generosity and commitment to our community. 🚒
