No Caption Epworth Fire Completes Winter EMS Training Program

Firefighter/EMT-P Kyle Knutson, March 24

Over the past six months, Epworth Firefighters, Paramedics, EMTs, and EMRs have been committed to an intensive winter training schedule. During this time, training sessions increased from twice a month to every Monday, ensuring our team meets required training hours while taking advantage of the season when weather is less favorable, kids are in school, and some sports are on break.

This dedicated winter schedule allows us to scale back to two Mondays per month for the next six months, giving our members more time for family, summer activities, and community events.

Throughout the training, ... (Full Story & Photos)

Dubuque County Burn Ban Remains in Place

Chief Thomas Berger, March 17

The State Fire Marshal enacted a ban on open burning effective immediately.

The ban states that no person shall engage in open burning in Dubuque County until the ban is lifted by the Dubuque County Fire Chiefs. The ban will remain in place until such time that we receive adequate precipitation and the risk is no longer present.

Exceptions to the burn ban are the ... (Full Story & Photos)
