The Callaway Volunteer Fire Department would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Wild Rice Electric for their generous donation toward the purchase of a thermal imaging camera. This advanced equipment will be an invaluable asset in our emergency response efforts, enhancing our ability to locate individuals in low-visibility conditions such as smoke-filled environments or during nighttime operations.

Your support not only helps protect our firefighters but also significantly increases the safety of the community we are proud to serve. We deeply appreciate your partnership and commitment to the well-being of our region.

🚒 Callaway Fire Dept Adds Life-Saving Equipment
The Callaway Volunteer Fire Department has added a thermal imaging camera to help locate victims, detect hot spots, and improve firefighter safety during structure fires.

The $5,000 tool was funded through Wild Rice Electric’s Operation Round Up® program—boosting emergency response in the Callaway area.
