Nowthen Residents! It’s Nowthen Fire Friday! 🔥
This past Tuesday, NFD celebrated the graduation of four of our recruits from the Anoka County Fire Training Academy. These four have put in endless hours of studying, training, and preparing to serve our community to the best of their ability. Congratulations to Daniel Bixby, Avery Mortenson, Brittani Nelson, and Luke Oberleitner! Thank you for your commitment to keeping Nowthen and our surrounding communities safe!

Nowthen Residents! It’s Nowthen Fire Friday! 🔥
As the summer heat kicks into gear, we know everyone is eager to head to the lakes to cool off. This past Wednesday, NFD completed surface water rescue training with the rescue boat at Twin Lakes Park. Our crew is highly trained and ready to respond if you need them, but they would much rather everyone practice safe swimming so their skills aren't necessary. Keep these essential water safety tips in mind this summer!
1. Never swim alone; always use the buddy system, no matter your age or how strong a swimmer you are.
2. When kids are in or near the water, appoint a responsible adult to keep their eyes on the lake at all times, without distractions.
3. If you're swimming, boating, or doing other open water recreational activities, make sure to use a Coast Guard-approved life jacket.

We wish you all a safe and fun summer at the lake!
