UPDATE:

Thank you all so much for the support! We have received a ton of messages about equipment and have picked a few. We are still looking for any free weights or dumbbells, but are no longer seeking machines after receiving some donations.

Help us help you!

Lostant Fire is currently seeking used exercise equipment to help us add a small exercise area at our station.

We are interested in acquiring:
• Treadmills
• Exercise bikes
• Free weights/dumbbells
• Other exercise equipment

If you have equipment you no longer use and would be willing to donate, please message us directly! We’d be happy to give your unused equipment a new home while helping our members stay in shape and ready to serve our community.

Due to last night’s severe storm and the significant electrical damage that occurred throughout the area, the Lostant weather warning siren is currently out of service.

Crews are working to assess the damage and determine the necessary repairs, but until the siren is restored, residents should not rely on the outdoor warning siren as their primary means of receiving emergency weather alerts.

Please make sure you have multiple ways to receive warnings, including:
• Wireless Emergency Alerts on your cell phone
• NOAA Weather Radio
• Local television and radio stations
• Trusted weather apps and notification services

Outdoor warning sirens are designed to alert people who are outside and should never be your only source of severe weather information.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through the repairs and will provide updates as information becomes available.

Stay weather aware and stay safe.

Heads up Lostant!

You may notice fire trucks and ambulances making their way through town shortly after 5:00 PM tonight with lights on and sirens sounding. There is no emergency — we’re simply helping send off our Tonica/Lostant Track & Field athletes as they head to the State Tournament!

We’re incredibly proud of these athletes and everything they’ve accomplished this season. If you’re around town this evening, step outside, give them a wave, and help us wish them the best of luck in East Peoria.

Safe travels and good luck at State from all of us at Lostant Fire & Ambulance!

The combination of southwesterly winds gusting up to 30 mph and very dry conditions with minimum relative humidity values falling into the 15 to 25 percent range will lead to an elevated fire danger this afternoon. Limit outdoor activities that involve open flames or sparks, including operating farm equipment, parking on grass, and improperly discarding smoking materials.
