🚨 Help Keep Our Community Safe 🚨

We’re working to ensure every home in our community is protected with working smoke detectors—but we need your help.

If you or someone you know is in need of a smoke detector, please sign up today. Having a functioning smoke detector can make all the difference in an emergency and could save lives.

Please reach out to the Lansing rural fire dept. page, your local firefighters or public relations officer Jesse Walleser @ 563-217-0252

These smoke alarms are free and installed by your local firefighters. All homes are eligible including campers, and trailer homes.

Let’s work together to keep our families, friends, and neighbors safe. Please share this post to help us reach those who may need assistance!

Reminder fire season is upon us. Fires can quickly get out of hand. Please be very cautious when burning and only do so under ideal conditions.

🔥 FIRE WEATHER WATCH 🔥
Critical fire weather conditions possible for northeast Iowa Wednesday. The combination of strong winds and very dry conditions are favored to lead to critical fire weather conditions in northeast Iowa Wednesday, particularly in areas dominated by tall grasses. While shorter grasses and shrubs may remain damp due to recent melt of snowpack atop still frozen deeper soils, tall grasses may have dried enough to become receptive to ignition and rapid spread.
* AFFECTED AREA...In Iowa, Mitchell, Howard, Winneshiek,
Allamakee, Floyd, Chickasaw, Fayette and Clayton.
* TIMING...From Wednesday morning through Wednesday evening.
* WINDS...West 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph.
* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 17 percent.
* TEMPERATURES...Up to 59.
* IMPACTS...Any fire that develops will catch and spread
quickly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions
are forecast to occur. Listen for later forecasts and possible
Red Flag Warnings.
