Thank you, Brian Sparks, for the 20 years on the Dysart Fire Department!

Some of Dysart Fire is at this one. There are fire departments in western Tama County fighting another big fire.
Any small spark can cause out of control fires in conditions like today.

Looks like there is a field fire in southern Black Hawk County. The area that is in black on this type of satellite image indicates a hot spot such as field fires.

A Red Flag Warning and Wind Advisory has been issued for Central Iowa for Wednesday.

Planning a controlled burn? Call and let dispatch know!

Why let dispatch know about a controlled burn? Smoke could be visible from the road, and we may receive reports on a fire. If dispatch knows about your controlled burn we can:

✅ Prevent unnecessary emergency response

✅ Reassure concerned callers

✅ Avoid paging fire departments to a fire that is under control

As important as it is to call it in, it is also just as important to call back and let us know your controlled burn is complete.

If we receive smoke reports after the fact and don't know it is done, the responders may still be sent to check it out.

Help us help you! This quick little phone call will make a big difference!
