A heartfelt thank you to the Iowa West Foundation for their generous support of the Stanton Fire Department through their grant!

Because of their support, we were able to purchase two complete sets of bunker gear and dual-certification gear for our firefighters. This equipment is essential in helping protect our volunteers as they respond to fires, rescues, medical emergencies, and other calls for service in our community.

Our firefighters selflessly give their time to serve and protect our community, and having properly fitted, up-to-date protective gear helps ensure they can do their jobs safely and confidently.

We are incredibly grateful to the Iowa West Foundation for investing in the safety of our firefighters and the continued protection of the Stanton community. Your support makes a difference! 🚒❤️

Thank you for supporting those who serve!

Last night Stanton Fire Dept members had its official training with representatives from Toyne Manufacturing out of Breda, IA. This now embarks on a new milestone in abilities to future serve our local Southwest Iowa communities. We have now welcomed a new pumper apparatus 232 into our station and replacing its predecessor 235. Huge shout out and thank you to the people who spent many hours on this truck committee over the past 800+ days awaiting its arrival. This project would not be possible without the help of the Stanton City Council and Stanton Fire Rural Trustees working hand in hand to make this happen.
