🚑 Final Testing Underway

Today marked practicals day for our EMT class, the final step before graduation. Ambulances were out and about as students worked through realistic patient scenarios, putting their training to the test in real-world conditions.

Next up is the written National Registry exam, followed by time in the field. Once certified, each new EMT will be paired with a senior member for additional mentoring before being cleared to serve as a provider.

🚒🚑 Shred Event Success

A big thank you to The Licata Group Real Estate, the driving force behind today’s annual Shred Event. Their continued investment in the community — including providing the shred truck — is what makes this event possible each year.

Lake of the Woods Fire & Rescue was proud to assist with the heavy lifting, supporting traffic flow, safety, and day‑of operations.

Events like this help residents safely dispose of sensitive documents, reduce clutter, and lower fire load risks in the home.

Thanks to everyone who came out and participated — together, the event raised over $3,000 in donations benefiting Lake of the Woods Fire & Rescue.
