Emerson-Hubbard Volunteer Fire and Rescue

Moms are the first real responders! Calming fears, fixing cuts and bruises, answering late night calls, and showing up no matter the hour. Their strength, sacrifice, and unconditional love shape the people we become.

Today we want to wish a very Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, stepmoms, grandmas, mother figures, and fire department moms who support us on and off the truck. Thank you for being the heartbeat behind every family and every community.

This week, we proudly recognize the voices behind the scenes who are there for every call, every emergency, and every moment that matters most.
To our incredible dispatchers serving Dakota County, Dixon County, and Thurston County — thank you for being the calm in the chaos. You are the first first responders, gathering critical information, providing life-saving instructions, and ensuring help is on the way before we even hit the road.
Your steady voices guide both the public and our crews through some of the most stressful situations imaginable. Your dedication, professionalism, and compassion do not go unnoticed.

Heading down Hwy 35 between Hwy 77 and Emerson? Surprise you’ve booked yourself a complimentary, slow-moving sightseeing experience led by a pilot car.
No, you can’t pass it.
No, it’s not in a hurry.
Yes, it will test your patience.
But hey this is your chance to finally notice the beautiful sights of north east Nebraska.

In all seriousness, give yourself extra time and slow it down let's keep our road crews safe. The sooner they're done working the sooner you'll get to enjoy the same scenery just behind a tractor instead. 😉

Roses are red,
Our trucks are too.
If you see smoke today,
It’s probably us...we promise you!
We’ll be conducting a controlled burn for training in the 1700 block of A Ave in Emerson to ensure we’re prepared when real emergencies happen.
Everything is under control… and no exes were harmed in the making of this training

Today, on National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, we want to recognize and thank all the men and women who serve and protect our communities.
We are especially proud to honor one of our own, Chuck Chinn who not only serves our community as a firefighter but also answers the call in law enforcement. Wearing two uniforms takes dedication, courage, and an unwavering commitment to others.
Thank you for standing on the front lines, for your sacrifices, and for your service both in the fire service and in law enforcement. Our department and community are better because of you.
