Is it hot in here, or is it just us? 🔥😍

We put out fires, and apparently, we make excellent Valentines. Come have a ball at The Firemen's Ball!

See you tomorrow night at the Hartington Golf Course❤️

The fire department received this photo of a brand new space heater that caught fire while in use. Luckily, the home owner was alerted by their smoke detectors and was extinguished quickly without further damage.

Here are some reminders about space heater safety.
1. Connect the space heater directly to a wall outlet and turn off and unplug when not in use.
2. Never leave a space heater unattended.
3. Have 3 feet of open-space in all directions.
4. Keep it on dry level surface.
5. Always have working smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure the safety of you and your family.

To all area farmers, please consider pausing the harvest while high winds and dry conditions persist. Also if possible have a disc near by should anything spark up a fire.

Is your Fire Hydrant buried by snow? We are asking members of the community with hydrants on or near your property to please clear the snow around them. We need to see at least 36" of clearance all the way around the fire hydrants to ensure we can properly respond in the event of an emergency. Thank you for your cooperation.
