Did you know that all 99 State of Iowa counties are text-to-911 capable? It’s always preferred that you call 911, but if you are in a situation where you can't talk, send a text to 911 for help!

If you ever come upon an anhydrous spill - STAY AWAY! STAY UPWIND!

Anhydrous ammonia is widely used by farmers in the field and under proper care and operations it can be safe and effective.

In the event of an accidental release, the anhydrous ammonia may appear as a cloud of smoke. Anhydrous ammonia is caustic and causes severe chemical burns.

NEVER assume you can get through this cloud in an attempt to stop the leak or to save someone that is unconscious in the area of the tank - CALL 9-1-1, STAY AWAY, and STAY UPWIND.

We hope you have a meaningful Memorial Day with family, remembering those who served.

Do you think you have what it takes to make a difference in people's lives? Contact us about joining our department as an emergency medical provider.

Current medical personnel (doctors, nurses, PAs, etc.) may be able to submit a minimum amount of paperwork to obtain their emergency medical certification. If you have no medical training, you will need to attend an in-person class and take written and practical tests. (You may be eligible for reimbursement for your class expenses.)

We would love to have you join our busy volunteer department!

Today is the last day of EMS Week. We wanted to share a little information about the Star of Life is a symbol used to identify emergency medical services. (Information below is taken from Wikipedia.)

The six branches of the star represent the six main tasks executed by rescuers all through the emergency chain:

* Detection: The first rescuers on the scene, usually untrained civilians or those involved in the incident, observe the scene, understand the problem, identify the dangers to themselves and the others, and take appropriate measures to ensure their safety on the scene (environmental, electricity, chemicals, radiation, etc.).
* Reporting: The call for professional help is made and dispatch is connected with the victims, providing emergency medical dispatch.
* Response: The first rescuers provide first aid and immediate care to the extent of their capabilities.
* On scene care: The EMS personnel arrive and provide immediate care to the extent of their capabilities on-scene.
* Care in transit: The EMS personnel proceed to transfer the patient to a hospital via an ambulance or helicopter for specialized care. They provide medical care during the transportation.
* Transfer to definitive care: Appropriate specialized care is provided at the hospital.

Our department's emergency medical providers are the best! We are so thankful for their timeless and unselfish dedication.

We need more people who are interested in providing medical care to our community. Most of our medical personnel work full-time jobs, which makes it challenging to respond to all of our medical calls (especially during the day, during the week). Won't you join us? Reach out to us today to find out if you have what it takes.

Thank you once again for all you do!
