🚨🔥 ELEVATED FIRE DANGER TODAY! 🌾🚜

With harvest in full swing, take extra precautions to prevent field fires!

✅ Check bearings to ensure they are properly greased and not failing.
✅ Watch for sparks, smoke, and built-up crop residue.
✅ Check your fire extinguishers — do you have one, and is it fully charged?

Bearings and built-up crop residue are common causes of sparks that can start field fires. A few extra minutes of prevention can save equipment, crops, and property!

Stay alert, stay safe, and have a safe harvest! 🚒🌾

Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or floor. Beds, couches, and pillows can trap heat and block airflow, which can cause a battery to overheat.

Unplug your device when it is fully charged. Leaving it plugged in longer than needed can increase heat and stress on the battery.

Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible. Do not block exits when charging. These batteries store more energy, and fires can grow quickly if they fail.

Today, the Lynd Fire Department came together one final time to honor Firefighter Kenny DeBaere. ❤️🚒

We brought all of our trucks to stand in recognition of a man who dedicated so many years of his life to serving the Lynd Fire Department and our community.

Kenny was a firefighter, a leader, an Assistant Chief, a Relief Association Treasurer, a friend, and a brother. His years of service left a lasting mark on our department, and today we were honored to pay tribute to him and the legacy he leaves behind.

As we said our final goodbye, we were reminded that the bonds formed within the fire service go far beyond the firehouse. Once a firefighter, always a firefighter.

Rest easy, Kenny. Your watch is over. We’ll take it from here. ❤️🖤🚒

Our deepest condolences continue to go out to Kenny’s family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Gone from our sight, but never forgotten.

Stop using your device right away if the battery smells strange, is warm to the touch, makes popping noises, changes in shape or color, or if you see smoke. If it is safe, move the device away from anything that can catch fire. A damaged battery can overheat and start a fire.

Happy Independence Day from the Lynd Fire Department!

We hope everyone has a fun, safe, and memorable Fourth of July filled with family, friends, good food, and fireworks. Celebrate responsibly, keep a hose or bucket of water nearby, and remember—we'd rather see your fireworks lighting up the sky than our trucks lighting up your driveway!
