Thank you Schell’s Brewery for your support and generous donation to the Courtland Fire department!

Today, we raise a pint to those who answer the call.

Through our Firebrick for Firefighters program, every pint and case of Firebrick sold helps support local fire departments, life-saving equipment, and firefighter wellness initiatives.

We're proud to continue that mission with our recent donation to the Courtland Fire and Rescue. Thank you to the firefighters who serve our communities every day, and to everyone who chooses Firebrick and helps us give back.

🍻 Brewed with purpose. Poured with gratitude.

Nicollet County has officially launched Everbridge, our new emergency notification system designed to help keep residents informed and safe during urgent situations.

Everbridge allows emergency officials to send timely alerts about situations such as hazardous road conditions, water advisories, gas leaks, evacuation notices, and more. Notifications can be delivered directly to you by text message or by email, helping you stay informed when it matters most.

Nicollet County previously used CodeRED. Please note that residents will need to sign up for the new Everbridge system in order to continue receiving alerts.

Registration can also be found on the homepage of the Nicollet County website: https://www.nicolletcountymn.gov/
