🚨 ATTENTION PHELPS! 🚨
Tonight we SPRING AHEAD ⏰ which means we lose an hour of sleep… but gain a great reminder to check the batteries in your smoke and CO detectors! 🔋🔥
Your detectors work 24/7 protecting your family… the least we can do is feed them some fresh batteries once in a while.
Think of it like this:
A smoke detector with a dead battery is about as helpful as a firefighter without coffee. ☕😴
So before bed tonight:
✔️ Set your clocks forward
✔️ Change your detector batteries
✔️ Sleep a little safer knowing your home is protected
Your family is worth it. ❤️

🚒🐾 Check out our very own FF Brent Hafer stepping up once again! 🐾🚒

This time, Brent was down in Eagle River helping rescue a family’s beloved pet from a tree — and bringing that furry friend safely back home where it belongs. 🌳🐱

Pretty awesome… yet not surprising given Brent’s character, work ethic, and steady presence on scene. Brent was named our 2025 Firefighter of the Year, and moments like this highlight exactly why. Whether it’s a structure fire, an EMS call, or evidently the classic “cat-in-a-tree,” he shows up ready to serve.

Great work, Brent. We’re proud of you — and proud to call you one of ours. 👏🔥

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

💘 Roses are red, violets are blue,
If your heart skips a beat… we’re coming for you. 🚑🔥 Love is powerful… but so are heart attacks. 💘

If your symptoms feel more “medical” than “magical,” don’t ignore them. Early action saves lives.

We are always here for Phelps — day or night. ❤️🚑🔥

🥞🚒 PANCAKES ARE CALLING… AND WE MUST ANSWER 🚒🥞

This Saturday, Jan 17th from 8:00–11:00 AM, it’s time to show up hungry and ready at the Land O’ Lakes Fire & EMS Pancake Breakfast!

🍽️ Delicious pancakes (not all-you-can-eat… but let’s be honest, we can still try 😏)
🎟️ 50/50 raffle 💰
🧺 Basket raffles (because who doesn’t love winning stuff they didn’t know they needed?)

And let’s be clear…
👀 Phelps, this is our moment.
I know we can show the folks in Land O’ Lakes how to properly put away some flapjacks 🥞🤣
Stretch first. Pace yourself. Hydrate. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

🚑🔥 More importantly……..
Our Fire & EMS departments rely on one another every single day. When Land O’ Lakes Fire & EMS is successful, it directly strengthens neighboring communities like Phelps. Supporting their fundraiser means supporting the people who show up for all of us — often in our worst moments, without hesitation.

So come eat. Come laugh. Come support.
Let them feed you pancakes before you ever need them to help clean up your unfortunate event! 🤣🥞🚒

See you Saturday!

❄️❄️ Enjoy the Snow — Ride Safe, Phelps! ❄️❄️

We’re having a remarkable start to winter here in the Northwoods, and it’s great to see everyone out enjoying the snow and trails 🛷🌲

As you head out riding, please remember to ride within your means, slow down, and use caution wherever you go ⚠️ We’ve already seen some serious accidents this early in the season, and we want everyone to get home safe.

🚨 Reminder: There is a large ice heave on North Twin Lake — please use extra caution in that area and watch for changing ice conditions 🧊

Ride sober 🍻❌, stay on marked trails, and look out for one another 🤝
If the unfortunate does happen, call early — we’re always here to help 📞🚒

Stay safe, have fun, and enjoy all that winter in Phelps has to offer! ❄️😊

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving, Phelps! 🦃

A huge thank you to the anonymous donors who helped us provide 20 full Thanksgiving meals to local families this year. Even with a snowstorm trying its best to turn our trucks into sleds ❄️🚒, dangerous roads, and power outages all over town, our members still got every meal delivered — and responded to numerous emergencies throughout the day and night.

To our incredible Fire & EMS volunteers: you never miss a beat. Thank you for showing up, snow or shine, when it matters most. Your dedication is something we’re truly grateful for today and every day. ❤️🔥

As we head into the holiday, we hope everyone enjoys a safe, warm, and downright delicious Thanksgiving. 🥧🍽️

And if the turkey gets a little too crispy, or anything else comes up… you know the drill — call early, we’re always ready to help. 😉

Happy Thanksgiving, Phelps! Hope all of you get to spend some time with those you are most thankful for! 🍁🦃🔥

🦃 LAST CALL!! 🦃
Please let us know if you or anyone you know may need a meal this Thanksgiving! ❤️

We’re hoping to have a final count by November 21st so we can make sure we have enough time to purchase all the fixings and get everything packaged and ready for you! 🍂🥧

A huge thank you to everyone who has already reached out and signed up — and an even bigger thank you to those who donated their time, money, and heart to make this happen. 🙏❤️

Small town pride is alive and well — and the people of Phelps are truly some of the best! 🤝🏡💛

If you or someone you know could use a little help or a warm holiday meal, please message us soon. We’re here for you. 🧡
