Highmore Volunteer Fire Department and Ambulance Service

05/20/2026

Today, we would like to take a minute to honor our Emergency Medical Technicians during this EMS week. These are some of the amazing people you can see out in public or on a call. Our crew members provide pre-hospital basic life support and medical transportation for emergent patients.

Highmore Volunteer Fire Department was requested on this fire. We responded with 3 Tactical Tenders and 2 Brush Trucks and 1 Command Truck. Highmore Ambulance was also on standby. It is great being able to help our neighboring departments when needed. Also it’s good feeling knowing they will be there for us at a moments notice, when needed.

Congrats Deputy Klein!

South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley: This Basic Law Enforcement Training class, which graduates Friday, is a historic one. It is the 200th class to compete this course, which has produced outstanding law enforcement officers for this state since 1960. This is a day of celebration. https://atg.sd.gov/OurOffice/Media/pressreleasesdetail.aspx?id=3020 .tab=0

Just a reminder to those celebrating our great country’s independence with fireworks that it is your responsibility to check your launch area and nearby and clean them from projectiles and the chemical residue left behind. Last night we were lucky a neighbor caught this shed fire and called 911 for a quick response from our firefighters and sheriff. Have fun, but be smart and responsible. Happy 4th!
