***Update*** The Tornado Watch for our counties in northeastern Iowa and southwestern Wisconsin has been cancelled as of 4:45 PM.

July 20 @ 3:00 PM - A Tornado Watch has been issued for portions of northeastern Iowa and southwestern Wisconsin through 10 PM. Any storms that form this afternoon into this evening will be capable of producing large hail, damaging wind gusts, and a few tornadoes are all possible. Be sure to have multiple ways to receive warnings should storms approach your location today!

A secondary watch may be issued later on for our counties further north in Wisconsin and southeastern Minnesota with storms that move in later on today.

A message from Chief Bohr

In the event any business or individual would receive a phone call from Community Safety Net asking to provide a donation toward the Postville Vol. Fire Dept. for safety supplies.

Yes, it is a legit company…however, if anyone would like to donate money for such cause. It would be much more beneficial to inform them that you would rather donate to the fire dept. directly.

As Chief, I am able to purchase fire prevention supplies such as coloring books, pencils, stickers, etc. much cheaper from Alert-All. If you are interested in donating, please specify that funds go towards fire prevention supplies.

Thank you.

This water is crucial in maintaining the hydration and safety of all firefighters from PVFD, as well as other depts. that may provide mutual aid. Thank you once again to Anheuser-Busch and the National Volunteer Fire Council!
