🚒 Big News, Ely!

Thanks to the continued efforts of your Ely Volunteer Firefighters — through fundraising events, grant opportunities, and the incredible support of our community — we’ve reached our next milestone toward replacing Ely 294: $250,000 raised! 🙌🔥

We still have a ways to go, but we can’t thank you enough for rallying behind us every step of the way. Your support keeps us rolling and ready to serve. ❤️💪

🔥 Training Night at the Burn Tower 🔥

Last night, Ely Firefighters took part in live fire training at the Kirkwood Burn Tower! Crews practiced advancing hose lines through stairwells and attacking live fires—two of the toughest situations to simulate outside a facility like this.

Adding live fire brought real heat and pressure, giving our team valuable hands-on experience.

A big thank-you to the Iowa Fire Service Training Bureau for funding this opportunity and to Kirkwood Community College for the use of their great facility and instructors. Training like this keeps our team ready to respond when it matters most! 🚒

❤️🔥 Thank You, Ely! 🔥❤️

What a night! Rockin’ for 294 was an incredible success — thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy live music, food, drinks, and fun in support of replacing our first-out fire engine.

We were so busy making sure the night ran smoothly that we only managed to capture a few photos of some crew and the event, but that’s because the place was packed with energy, laughter, and community spirit.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for showing up, supporting your firefighters, and helping us move one step closer to bringing Ely 294 to life. 🚒❤️
